SAFARI COST FACTORS

When planning your Tanzania safari, you may want to know what factors influence the overall costs:

Duration

The duration of your safari plays a crucial role in pricing. Shorter routes reduce costs. If your budget is limited, it might be worth considering a shorter but still rewarding safari experience.

Accommodations

In Tanzania, there are various accommodation standards to choose from. Additionally, the location of accommodation significantly influences costs. Accommodations in national parks are generally much more expensive than those outside protected areas. This is mainly due to special permits and the more complex logistics for such locations. At Fahamu Safaris, you can customize your accommodations to fit your budget.

National Parks

Entrance fees vary depending on the protected area. Some, like the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Serengeti, have higher fees compared to Tarangire or Arusha. Thus, the choice of national park can affect the overall cost of your safari.

Optional Activities

The costs of various optional activities that you can integrate into your safari itinerary vary. You have the opportunity to customize your safari according to your preferences and budget.

Transfers

As part of the travel expenses, all transfers, including airport pickup, are included in our safari packages.

Domestic Flights

Fahamu Safaris can arrange domestic flights according to your itinerary. We collaborate with local airlines to provide you with the best value for money.

Group Size

Traveling in larger groups generally reduces costs per person as they are divided. The more people in your group, the more affordable the safari will be per person.

Season

During the high season in Tanzania (December to February and June to August), accommodation prices tend to be higher due to increased demand. If you want to save money, consider visiting in April or May during the rainy season when some hotels offer discounted rates.
