Home FAQ Cost & budget

Are Tanzania safaris more expensive than Kenya?

Direct answer

Not necessarily—Kenya doubled Maasai Mara fees to 0/day (July–December 2025) versus Serengeti's .60/day. A 7-day Mara-focused Kenya trip can carry ,400+ in park fees alone, while Tanzania's 4-park northern circuit totals 0–0 per person. Overall mid-range costs are now roughly comparable, but Tanzania offers more park diversity per dollar.

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit. The right answer depends on your dates, fitness, budget, and whether you travel with a licensed operator who handles permits, road logistics, and park regulations.
