Overview of Tanzania Safari Prices in 2025 – 2026
Tanzania remains one of the world’s premier safari destinations, offering unparalleled wildlife viewing in parks like Serengeti National Park (home to the Great Migration), Ngorongoro Crater (a UNESCO World Heritage Site with dense predators & BIG 5 populations), Tarangire National Park (famous for elephant herds and baobab trees) and Lake Manyara Park boosted for its tree climbing lion & larger flocks of flamingos.
However, safaris here are notably expensive due to high conservation fees, remote locations, and premium experiences. In 2025/26, expect to pay $200–$1,500 per person per day for a full package, depending on budget level, duration, season, and inclusions. Prices are typically quoted in USD and include park fees, accommodation & meals, transport, and guides, but exclude international flights, visas ($50–$100), and tips ($10–$50/day per person).
