Your tanzania trip details
Daily lodge, drives and park fees before tier adjustments.
Your estimate sits within the typical range.
Tanzania's park fees are among the highest in Africa, the Serengeti and especially the Ngorongoro Crater charge steep daily per-person entry and conservation fees, often $70 to $250-plus a day, and the crater has an additional vehicle fee. These are frequently quoted separately from lodge rates, so confirm what your package includes.
Australians need a visa for Tanzania, available as an e-visa in advance or on arrival for a fee. Yellow fever vaccination may be required (especially arriving from certain countries) and antimalarials are recommended, and Zanzibar can have additional entry requirements. Confirm with Smartraveller, a travel doctor and the embassy before booking.
💰 Ways to save
- Confirm exactly which park fees are included, they are very high in Tanzania and a big separate cost if not.
- A group safari reaches the same Serengeti wildlife for far less than a luxury camp.
- If climbing Kilimanjaro, choose a reputable safety-focused operator over the cheapest, it matters at altitude.
