How much does a family Tanzania safari cost?

Direct answer

Family safaris for two adults and two children (ages 5–15) run ,500–,000 total for a 7-day mid-range northern circuit—children pay reduced TANAPA fees (.70–.60/day) and under-5s enter free. Family-friendly lodges with pools (e.g., Tarangire Safari Lodge, Serengeti Serena) suit ages 6+; some walking safaris require a 12-year minimum.

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit.
