Tanzania safaris offer unforgettable wildlife experiences with pricing that varies by comfort level and travel style. Safari costs typically range from $200 to $1,500+ per person per day, with options for budget, mid-range, and luxury travellers.
Budget safaris cost $200–$350 per day and usually include basic camping or budget lodges with shared 4x4 safari vehicles. This option is ideal for travellers seeking affordability while still enjoying Tanzania’s iconic wildlife.
Mid-range safaris range from $350–$600 per day and offer comfortable tented camps, lodges, and private 4x4 vehicles for enhanced flexibility and convenience. This tier balances comfort and value.
Luxury safaris start from $600 and can exceed $1,500 per day, featuring high-end lodges, exclusive services, and fly-in options that reduce travel time and enhance the experience.
Key cost factors include park fees (often $60–$70 per day), additional charges for areas like Ngorongoro Crater, and seasonal demand. Peak season (June–October and during the Great Migration) typically commands higher prices due to increased demand.
Group size also affects cost—larger groups reduce per-person transport expenses, making group safaris more affordable. Specialized activities such as hot air balloon rides add approximately $500–$600 per person but deliver a unique aerial perspective of Tanzania’s landscapes and wildlife.
Most safari packages include a 4x4 vehicle, professional guide, park fees, accommodation, and meals. International flights, tips, and drinks are usually excluded.
Tanzania remains one of the world’s premier safari destinations, offering options for every traveller—from budget adventures to luxury experiences.
