Home FAQ Cost & budget

How much does Ngorongoro safari cost?

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.

Overview

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