TL;DR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Tanzania safari costs between $250 and $1,500+ per person per day depending on accommodation tier, group size, and season. Most travelers on a mid-range private safari should budget $400 to $800 per person per day, which covers lodging, meals, park fees, a private vehicle, and a driver-guide. Government park fees alone run $500 to $600 per person on a typical 7-day Northern Circuit itinerary. Booking with a Tanzania-based operator instead of an international agency can cut costs by 25 to 40%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
