Pricing

How your safari price comes together

Every price we publish is built from the same parts. Here is what you are paying for, and why the price changes with the season and with the number of people travelling.

What’s in the price

Lodges and camps
Per person, per night
The biggest part of the price. Rates change by lodge and by season.
Serengeti park fee
Per person, per 24 hours
$82.60 (including 18% VAT)
Tarangire park fee
Per person, per 24 hours
$59.00 (including VAT)
Ngorongoro Conservation Area entry
Per person, per entry
$70.80. The road to the Serengeti crosses it, so most trips enter twice.
Ngorongoro Crater descent
Per vehicle
$295, whether there are two of you in the vehicle or six
Camping and concession fees inside the parks
Per person, per night
$59.00 to $70.80 in the Serengeti, depending on the month
Private vehicle, driver-guide and fuel
Per vehicle, per day
Includes the vehicle's own park fees and breakdown cover
Airport transfer and couple extras
Per trip
Welcome pickup, sundowners, celebrations and gifts as listed on each trip

Government fees are the 2026 tariffs published by Tanzania National Parks and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority.

Why the price drops when more of you travel

Some costs belong to the vehicle, not to each traveller: the vehicle and guide for every day of the safari, the Ngorongoro Crater descent and the airport transfer. Two people split them in half. Four people split them four ways, so each person pays less, while lodges and park fees stay the same per person.

Why the season matters

Lodges charge the most from June to October, the dry season, when game viewing is easiest and demand is highest. From January to March and in November and early December, the green season, rates come down. April and May, the long rains, are the lowest of the year.

What’s never in the price

International flights, visas, travel insurance and tips for your guide and lodge staff. Each trip page lists exactly what is and isn’t included.
