Costs, Permits, and Logistics

Confirm current fees when you book — tariffs are set by national park authorities and can change by season or residency status.

• Permits and park fees are fixed; savings usually come from lodge tier, vehicle sharing, and season.
• All-inclusive packages clarify what is bundled versus paid locally (tips, drinks, optional activities).
• Serengeti and Ngorongoro fees are charged per 24 hours; crater descent has an additional vehicle fee.
• Dry season (June–October) is peak for migration viewing and lodge demand.

How to Decide

Comparison questions are best answered by matching destinations to your dates, budget, fitness, and must-see wildlife. List your non-negotiables (gorillas, migration, Big Five, beach extension), then choose the route that minimizes long transfers and maximizes time in park.
