Tanzania is recognized as the world’s best safari destination, but it is also an expensive country. Unfortunately, we cannot change that. What we can do is break down the costs of a safari so you get a better understanding. How much does a safari cost?

Safari Cost Tanzania

The total cost of a Tanzanian safari is made up of several factors, including:
  • Rental of safari vehicle & private guide
  • Entrance fees for the national parks
  • Accommodation
The first two factors are fixed costs unless you choose to share a safari vehicle with more people. National park entrance fees are quite expensive. For example, driving with a safari jeep in the Ngorongoro Crater costs $300 per day, excluding $78.50 per person. This makes safaris a costly adventure. However, you can save money on accommodation depending on the level of luxury you choose.

Safari Cost Per Day

The average cost of a safari starts from $520 per person per day if you choose Silver Class Hotels. Even with a group of four people, the cost is around $450 per person per day.

Why Choose Silver Class Accommodation?

Our Silver Class accommodation offers the best price-to-quality balance. These lodges and camps are located in stunning areas with great views, excellent service, and fair pricing. Silver Class is not budget accommodation, but it ensures you have a comfortable and memorable experience. If you opt for budget accommodation, you may save $15 to $30 per day, but you will compromise on quality and location. We highly recommend Silver Class hotels for the best safari experience. I Artist Adventure has a dedicated team that frequently inspects accommodations to ensure we offer you only the best.

Low-Budget Accommodation

For those who really want to save, camping is a great option. Tanzania has many well-equipped camping sites where you can stay in small dome tents at a lower cost.

Safari Cost Zanzibar

Unlike mainland Tanzania, Zanzibar is much more affordable. On this tropical island, you can stay in our Silver Class accommodation for just $40 per person per night. Our selected lodges are beachfront properties in Zanzibar’s most beautiful locations. We always recommend our guests determine their safari budget in advance. How much do you want to spend on a safari? Would you like to end your adventure with a beach holiday in Zanzibar? Setting a budget makes it easier to plan an itinerary that suits your needs.
