Popular questions about Tanzania Safari

Tanzania adventure safari

Tanzania Safari offers private, luxury, mid-range, budget, and tailor-made safari experiences in East Africa. Explore Tanzania’s national parks and reserves at your own pace, witnessing the Serengeti, Great Migration, and Big Five. Experience luxury in handpicked accommodations, including boutique lodges and tented camps. Customize your journey with tailor-made safaris, ranging from romantic getaways to family expeditions. Tanzania Safari is committed to creating unforgettable memories and blending luxury with the untamed beauty of the African wilderness.

Why is safari in Tanzania so expensive?

A safari in Tanzania can be relatively expensive for several reasons:

1. Conservation Fees: Tanzania’s national parks and wildlife reserves charge conservation fees, which contribute to the preservation of the country’s rich biodiversity. These fees can be significant, especially for popular destinations like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.

2. Exclusive Accommodations: Luxury safaris often include stays in high-end lodges or tented camps, which offer premium amenities, personalized service, and prime locations for wildlife viewing. The cost of these accommodations is typically higher compared to more budget-friendly options.

3. Transportation: Safaris in Tanzania often involve flights between different destinations or long drives on rough roads to reach remote areas. The cost of transportation, whether by plane or safari vehicle, is factored into the overall price of the safari.

4. Experienced Guides and Staff: Luxury safaris prioritize the quality of the guiding experience, with highly trained and knowledgeable guides leading game drives and providing insights into the local wildlife and ecosystems. The salaries of these skilled professionals contribute to the overall cost of the safari.

5. Exclusive Experiences: Luxury safaris may offer exclusive experiences such as private game drives, guided nature walks, cultural visits to local communities, and other bespoke activities tailored to the preferences of guests. These added experiences come at an additional cost.

6. Seasonal Demand: The cost of safaris in Tanzania can vary depending on the time of year, with peak seasons (such as during the Great Wildebeest Migration) generally commanding higher prices due to increased demand.

Overall, while a safari in Tanzania may be more expensive compared to other destinations, the investment often reflects the exceptional quality of the experience, including unparalleled wildlife encounters, luxurious accommodations, and personalized service.

Is safari cheaper in Kenya or Tanzania?

The cost of a safari can vary depending on various factors, including the specific itinerary, accommodations, time of year, and level of luxury. However, in general, safaris in Kenya tend to be slightly more budget-friendly compared to Tanzania for a few reasons:

1. Conservation Fees: While both Kenya and Tanzania charge conservation fees for entry into national parks and reserves, Tanzania’s fees are generally higher, especially for popular destinations like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.

2. Accommodation Options: Kenya offers a wide range of accommodation options, including luxury lodges, tented camps, and budget-friendly campsites, catering to different budget levels. Tanzania also has diverse accommodation choices, but luxury options often come with a higher price tag.

3. Accessibility: Kenya’s safari destinations are more accessible from major cities and tourist hubs, which can sometimes result in lower transportation costs compared to reaching remote areas in Tanzania.

4. Seasonal Variations: The cost of safaris in both countries can fluctuate depending on the time of year and the demand for wildlife sightings. Kenya’s peak safari season, which coincides with the Great Wildebeest Migration, may offer slightly more affordable options compared to Tanzania’s peak season.

That being said, both Kenya and Tanzania offer incredible safari experiences, each with its unique attractions and wildlife. Whether you choose Kenya or Tanzania for your safari adventure, it’s essential to research and compare different safari operators, accommodations, and packages to find the best option that fits your budget and preferences.

How much is a 10 day safari in Tanzania

The cost of a 10-day safari in Tanzania can vary widely depending on various factors such as the level of luxury, the specific destinations visited, the time of year, the number of people in your group, and the activities included in the itinerary.

On average, for a mid-range safari with comfortable accommodations and guided game drives, you can expect to pay anywhere from $3,000 to $7,000 per person for a 10-day safari in Tanzania.

For a luxury safari with exclusive accommodations, private guides, and additional experiences, the cost can range from $6,000 to $15,000 or more per person for the same duration.

It’s essential to consider what is included in the safari package, such as accommodation, meals, park fees, transportation, and activities, as these factors can significantly impact the overall cost. Additionally, be sure to inquire about any potential additional expenses, such as gratuities, alcoholic beverages, and optional excursions.

To get an accurate price for your specific preferences and requirements, it’s advisable to consult with multiple reputable tour operators or travel agencies specializing in safaris in Tanzania. They can provide you with detailed quotes based on your desired itinerary and budget.

How much does a safari cost per person in Tanzania?

The cost of a safari in Tanzania can vary greatly depending on several factors, including the level of luxury, the duration of the safari, the specific destinations visited, the time of year, and the services included in the package.

On average, for a mid-range safari with comfortable accommodations and guided game drives, you can expect to pay anywhere from $200 to $500 per person per day.

For a luxury safari with exclusive accommodations, private guides, and additional experiences, the cost can range from $500 to $1,500 or more per person per day.

These costs typically include accommodation, meals, park fees, transportation within the parks, and guided activities such as game drives and nature walks. However, it’s essential to carefully review what is included in the safari package, as some services and amenities may incur additional charges.

It’s also worth noting that some tour operators offer group discounts or special promotions, especially during the offseason. Additionally, booking well in advance or being flexible with your travel dates can sometimes help you secure better rates.

To get a precise cost estimate for your specific safari preferences and requirements, it’s recommended to reach out to reputable tour operators or travel agencies specializing in safaris in Tanzania. They can provide you with detailed quotes tailored to your budget and itinerary.

Tolle Tour, top Guide, persönlicher Service, schöne Unterkünfte - perfekte Safari Ich war 8 Tage mit diesem Jairos Adventure im Norden Tansanias unterwegs - Tarangire, Manyara, Lake Natron, Serengeti und Ngorongoro Krater. Vorabkontakt aufmerksam, realktionsschnell, kundenorientiert. Von der Abholung in JRO bis zur Verabschiedung war der Service exzellent und es bestanden echte Interesse am Wohlbefinden des Gast und seinen Bedürfnissen. Ezekiel war ein ausgezeichneter, aufmerksamer Guide, der mit Herz bei der Sache war und sich auch sehr bemühte gute Positionen fürs Fotografieren zu finden (ja, man kann hier auch als Fotograf buchen und happy werden). Das Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis war ausgezeichnet. Ich würde sagen, das beste das ich je auf einer Safari hatte und auch sonst - Guide und Unterkünfte - einfach sehr gut und fein ausgewählt. Ich würde jederzeit wieder hier buchen. Es war besser als bei deutlich teureren Safaris bislang.

Une expérience inoubliable Nous avons passé un excellent séjour accompagnées de notre guide Ezekiel ! Nous avons vu énormément d'animaux car il connaissait tous les bons endroits et peut repérer un dik-dik dans un épais buisson sans aucune difficulté, très impressionnant ! Les logements (un lodge à Tloma et des tentes tout confort au cœur du Serengeti) étaient très agréables et la nourriture excellente. Une adresse à ne pas manquer !!!

A Remarkable Adventure organized by caring tour operator! Our recent family adventure organized by Jairos Adventure was an unforgettable experience that exceeded our expectations in every way. From the seamless planning to the awe-inspiring moments during the safari, every aspect of the trip was handled with utmost care and professionalism.

Right from the initial consultation, they took the time to understand our preferences and interests, tailoring the itinerary to suit our needs. Their attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the journey, ensuring that we felt comfortable and well-prepared for the adventure ahead. The highlight of our expedition was undoubtedly the safari, and our guide, Mr. Herman, played a pivotal role in making it an extraordinary experience. His extensive knowledge of the local wildlife, combined with a passion for conservation, added a layer of depth to our journey. Mr. Herman's ability to spot and identify animals was truly impressive, enhancing our safari by allowing us to witness the beauty of the African wilderness up close.

Unforgettable safari experience Jairos and Vienna are very responsible tour arrangers. They respond to emails quickly and they make efforts trying to meet our requirements. Food was good the whole time and they made sure we had fruits, water, and snacks every day. Our guide Ezekial was professional and very experienced. We felt safe and secured even when the road condition was rough when it rained. We learned a lot about animals from our guide and thanks for the knowledge! Thanks again for arranging us such an unforgettable trip. I’m already in love with this beautiful land and will be coming back.

Perfect Safari Journey We booked an 8-day Safari going to Arusha NP, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, each NP has its own attractions. With thoughtful arrangement from Jairos team, everything went smoothly, we saw a lot of animals, game driving on Serengeti would be one of most unforgettable experiences in life. Mr Ezekiel is very experienced driver and professional Safari guide, he is very knowledgeable, knows everything on this land, where to find animals, what’s their habit, and how they live, and he is also very gentle and elegant, we like him a lot! And also, every meal during the whole trip is treated seriously, we never had lunch box, every noon, Mr Ezekiel would help set up the table with a plaid tablecloth, bring us warm food, fruits, juice, even beers! Everything is so perfect, we love animal here, and also people here. So glad that we met Jairos and his team, we had a perfect impressive journey! Thanks to Jairos’ camera, I could have so many precious photos ! Hope we’re able to come back here again soon!

Safe, Wonderful and Unforgettable Mountain Experience Highly recommend! I had 7-day Kilimanjaro mountain climb by Matcham route, this is time I try such high elevation and long toute, they assigned a very experienced guide who climbed over 100 times. All the way he helped me adapt to high altitude, monitored my body health indicator, guided me to the summit, as well as shared a lot of knowledge of plant, animals and local culture, especially on the day of reaching summit, Paul and David encouraged me a lot and gave me strength to hold on to the final success. And also crew of porters, chef and waiter were super nice, passion and helpful, everyday they secured my accommodation, delicious hot food, and plenty clean water. They provide me a safe, happy, unforgettable lifetime experience! Thank you, Jairos and Jairos Adventure!

Kilimanjaro - Trangire - Ngorongoro - Serengeti - Bwindi An amazing customized experience with Jairos Adventure team, they treated us like we were old firends, always worried about giving us the very best of Tanzania, and being highly commited to help us achieve our dreams. Before we hired them they were very kind and helpful, during the hole trip they were close and supportive, after the trip they are good friends. The 5 days experience at Kilimanjaro Marangu Route were absolutely amazing with the team integrated by our main guide Laraha, our friendly assitant guide Turiza, the amazing cook Babu, our good friend Thomas, Kinanda a great summit support porter, and the other porters made the best ouf our experience. The 4 days safari with Ezekial were unforgetable allowing us to descover the beautiful baobab trees, elephant families and a small cheeta family at Tarangire National Park; the amazing rhinos at Ngorongoro astonishing crater and thousands of wild animals in the area; the absolutely breath taking immensity of Serengeti with its wild cats, their infinite heards and amazing sky. The short but meaningful experience at Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda where we get a close encounter with Mukiza gorilla family (with a 4 days old baby) was amazing and closing the experience with a trip at Lake Victoria finding the shoebill bird was awesome. To summ up... always trust in Jairos Adventure Team... Jaiross, Vienna and Happyphodias will certainly do their best for you and help you bring your dreams into reality

Wildlife in Tarangire National Park I enjoyed a one day safari in Tarangire National Park in March 2022 and had an amazing day with Jairos and his wonderful team. Everything was organized very well. The driver and guid was very experienced and showed us the wildlife...he explained very well about the life of animals in the National Park. The highlight was the lion family relaxing in the tree. I have to recommend Jairos and his team! They made a really good work from heart. I never will forget this beautyful day!

Highly recommended Im November 2022 habe ich bei Jairos eine 2--Tages-Safari mit Übernachtung gebucht: Lake Manyara und Ngorongoro Crater, Übernachtung in der Karatu Tented Lodge. Es war das Low-Budget-Angebot und trotzdem war alles super! Jairos hat sich die Mühe gemacht, sich sowohl vor als auch nach der Safari mit mir zu treffen, für ein Briefing bzw. eine Nachbesprechung, das war sehr aufmerksam. Auch der Guide, Hermann, war toll und offenbar gut ausgebildet. Er hat mich auf sehr viele Tiere aufmerksam gemacht, mir zu allen Tieren, auch vermeintlich "unwichtigen", viele Informationen gegeben. Als er erfahren hat, dass mich nicht nur die klassischen Big Five, sondern besonders auch Vögel interessieren, hat er auch nach diesen für mich Ausschau gehalten. Trotz eines gewissen Zeitplans haben wir überall und so lange zum Gucken und für Fotos angehalten, wie ich wollte. Obwohl die Company ihren Sitz in Arusha hat, wurde ich in Moshi abgeholt und zurückgebracht. Verpflegung und Wasser waren gut und in ausreichender Menge vorhanden. Es war ein rundum gelungenes Erlebnis! ☺️ *** In November 2022 I booked a 2-day overnight safari with Jairos: Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater, overnight at Karatu Tented Lodge.

When he found out that I was not only interested in the classic Big Five, but also in birds in particular, he also looked out for these for me. Despite being on a certain schedule, we stopped everywhere and for as long as I wanted to look and take photos. Although the company is based in Arusha, I was picked up and returned in Moshi. Food and Water was good and available in sufficient quantity. It was an all-round successful experience! ☺️
