Estimate only — covers guiding, park fees, transfers and lodging at your chosen tier. International flights not included. Shaiya confirms an exact, all-in quote within 24h.
What's included
Private guide and 4×4, all park and conservation fees, lodging at your chosen comfort level, internal transfers and bottled water. Everything is itemised before you pay a cent.
What moves the price
Season is the biggest lever — July–October peak costs more than the green season. Luxury lodges, Ngorongoro Crater fees, and smaller groups (fewer people sharing the vehicle) also raise the per-person figure.

Safari cost questions
How much does a Tanzania safari cost per person?
A mid-range private safari runs roughly $350–550 per person per day all-in (guide, vehicle, park fees, lodging, transfers). Budget camping starts near $250/day; luxury lodges run $850/day and up. Your total depends mostly on length, season and group size.
Why is high season more expensive?
June–October is peak game-viewing (dry season, Mara river crossings), so lodges charge premium rates and book out. Travelling in the green season (March–May) can cut lodging costs by 15–20% with fewer crowds and lush scenery.
Are park fees included in the estimate?
Yes. The calculator folds typical park and conservation fees into the daily rate. Your final written quote itemises every fee — including Ngorongoro Crater service fees — so there are no surprises.
Does a bigger group cost less per person?
Usually yes. A private vehicle and guide are shared across the group, so per-person cost drops as you add travellers. Solo travellers and couples pay the highest per-person rate.

Emergency numbers in Tanzania
Important: Tanzania has no national ambulance service, and
112 does not connect reliably outside Dar es Salaam. If someone is seriously
hurt, getting into a private vehicle to the nearest major hospital is usually
faster than waiting. Call us at the same time — we know which hospital
to go to and can call ahead.
Your embassy handles lost passports and emergency travel documents.
