If you are planning a safari in Tanzania, one of the first questions you will probably ask is:<\/p>

“How much does a Tanzania safari cost?”<\/strong><\/p>

The honest answer is: it depends.<\/strong><\/p>

A Tanzania safari can cost around $200 per person per day for basic budget travel<\/strong>, while luxury safaris can easily exceed $4,000 per person per day<\/strong>.<\/p>

But price alone doesn’t tell you whether you are getting a good safari.<\/p>

A $200 safari and a $4,000 safari may visit the same Serengeti, but the experience can be completely different depending on your accommodation, vehicle, guide, season, and itinerary.<\/p>

At Bantu Pori Journeys, we believe the best safari is not necessarily the cheapest or the most expensive.<\/p>

It is the one that gives you the right experience for your budget<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

What Determines the Cost of a Tanzania Safari?<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

1. How Many Days You Travel<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Naturally, a three-day safari will usually cost less than a seven-day safari.<\/p>

However, more days do not always mean a better safari.<\/p>

A well-planned five-day journey through Tarangire<\/a>, Ngorongoro<\/a> and Serengeti<\/a><\/strong> can be far more rewarding than trying to squeeze six or seven parks into the same amount of time.<\/p>

Our advice?<\/p>

Choose quality over quantity.<\/strong><\/p>

Give yourself enough time to enjoy each destination rather than spending your holiday constantly packing and driving to the next one.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

2. Where You Go<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Your choice of national parks and conservation areas has a major impact on the overall cost.<\/p>

For example, a safari featuring the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater<\/strong> will generally have different costs from a shorter itinerary focused on destinations closer to Arusha.<\/p>

But each destination offers something different.<\/p>

Tarangire<\/strong> is famous for its elephants and magnificent baobabs.<\/p>

Ngorongoro Crater<\/strong> offers one of Africa’s most remarkable concentrations of wildlife.<\/p>

Serengeti<\/strong> is where the vastness of Tanzania’s wilderness truly begins to reveal itself and is the stage for the Great Migration<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>

The goal isn’t to visit as many parks as possible.<\/p>

It is to choose the right combination of destinations for your interests and available time<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

3. Your Accommodation<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t

Accommodation is one of the biggest factors influencing Tanzania safari prices<\/strong>.<\/p>
