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.

  • 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.
  • East Africa has two drier windows: June–September and December–February, though rain varies by park.
  • Shoulder months can offer better permit availability and lower lodge rates.

Seasonal Timing

Dry months generally mean easier road access and firmer trekking trails, while wetter months can mean fewer visitors and lush scenery. Gorilla and chimp permits remain limited year-round — book early even in low season.
