Settle your budget

The price range for a Tanzania safari is broad and veers from economical to extremely expensive. So, the first thing to do when you start planning your Tanzanian safari is decide how much you can or are willing to spend. Interlink Trails, as an experienced tour operator based in Arusha, Tanzania, can customize the cost of your safari taking into account when you go, the number of people in your party, and your choice of accommodations.

One of the most basic factors to decide upon is whether or not you and your friends and family are willing to share your game drive vehicle (and therefore driver and guide) with other guests. Doing so can seriously lower the cost of your safari in Tanzania and some say it’s one of the best parts of being on safari.

Exploring the African bush with new friends becomes a bonding experience as you marvel at the wildlife and absorb the sights and sounds of the savannah.

Or, perhaps you favor the intimate and flexible experience of a private safari.

Why Tanzania Safari is too expensive?

Tanzania is chosen as the world’s best safari country, but it is also an expensive country. Unfortunately we cannot change that. What we can do is give you a breakdown of the costs of a safari, so you get a better understanding.

The factors that make up for the total cost of a Tanzanian safari:

• Rent of safari vehicle & private guide
• Entrance fees for the national parks
• Accommodation

The first two factors are fixed prices, unless you choose to share the safari vehicle with more people. The entrance fees for the national parks are expensive, for example the costs of driving with a safari jeep in the Ngorongoro Crater are $300 per day excl. $78.50 per person. This makes a safari a costly journey. It is possible to save money on accommodation, depending the level of luxury/exclusiveness you choose.
