Home FAQ Cost & budget

Is Tanzania expensive for safari?

Direct answer

Tanzania sits in the mid-to-upper range for East Africa—budget camping from 0/day, mid-range 0–0/day, luxury 0–,000+/day per person. Government park fees (0–0 per person over 7 days) are non-negotiable and make up roughly 30–50% of budget-safari totals. It is cheaper than Botswana but pricier than Uganda for savanna-only itineraries.

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.
