Direct answer
Ngorongoro is managed by NCAA, not TANAPA: .80 per adult per day for conservation-area entry, plus a mandatory 5 crater-descent fee per vehicle (split among up to six passengers—roughly 7.50 each for two). A single crater-floor day with guide and vehicle typically costs 0–0 per person mid-range. Rim lodges like Ngorongoro Serena charge 0–,500+ per night on top of these government fees.
