Home – Tanzania Safari Cost
Planning a Tanzania safari starts with understanding your budget. The cost of a safari depends on several factors, including the number of days, destinations, accommodation, season, number of travelers, transportation, and activities included.
As a general 2026 guide, Tanzania safari prices can range from approximately $250–$400 per person per day for budget travel, $400–$700 for mid-range travel, and $700–$1,500+ for luxury experiences. These are broad market ranges, and your trip’s actual price will depend on your itinerary and inclusions.
| Safari Style | Approximate Cost Per Person / Day |
|---|---|
| Budget Safari | $250–$400 |
| Mid-Range Safari | $400–$700 |
| Luxury Safari | $700–$1,500+ |
These figures are general planning estimates, not fixed Safari Companion TZ prices. Park fees, accommodation, transportation, meals, and other services can significantly affect the final quotation.
The longer you stay in Tanzania, the more you will generally spend on accommodation, meals, park fees, transportation, and guiding.
A 3-day safari will normally cost less than a 7-day or 10-day safari.
Accommodation is one of the biggest factors affecting the total cost.
You can choose from:
Budget
Camping, simple lodges, and affordable accommodation.
Mid-Range
Comfortable lodges, tented camps, and hotels with good facilities.
Luxury
Premium lodges and luxury tented camps offering high levels of comfort and service.
Different parks and conservation areas have different fees and requirements. Tanzania’s official park information advises travelers to build their budget around transportation, accommodation, food, and park fees.
Popular destinations include:
Traveling as a couple, family, or group can affect the per-person cost because some expenses—such as the safari vehicle and guide—can be shared between travelers. Solo travelers may pay more per person because they do not share these costs with other guests.
