A Tanzania safari is a guided wildlife trip through the country’s national parks, almost always in a private 4×4 with a driver-guide. Most travelers spend six to ten days on the northern circuit — Tarangire, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater — and pay between $450 and $1,500 per person per day depending on accommodation. The dry season from June to October gives the strongest game viewing; January to March is calving season in the southern Serengeti. Flights arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), an hour from our base in Arusha.

How much does a Tanzania Safari Cost?
Tanzania safari cost is driven by three things: your accommodation level (Luxury, Mid-range or Budget Camping), the number of parks you visit and your group size. Government park fees alone run $59 to $83 per person per day, and the Ngorongoro Crater adds a $300 vehicle descent fee — charges every honest operator has to pass on.
Best time to visit Tanzania, month by month
There is no bad month for a Tanzania safari — only different trade-offs between wildlife density, crowds and price. Here is what each part of the year looks like on the ground.
| Months | Rating | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| January – March | Excellent | Calving season in the southern Serengeti; heavy predator action, green plains. |
| April – May | Budget | Long rains. Lowest prices and almost no vehicles, but some camps close. |
| June – July | Excellent | Dry season starts. Herds move north-west; excellent all-round game viewing. |
| August – October | Peak | Mara River crossings in the northern Serengeti. Peak season — book early. |
| November | Good | Short rains, brief showers only. Good value and fresh landscapes. |
| December | Good | Herds return south. Festive season prices in the best camps. |

“We traveled as a family and were nervous at first, but Jonathan quickly made us feel comfortable. The safari suited both us and our kids, and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and great with the children.”
