Tanzania Safari
Hi,
Can anyone give me an idea of how much a safari in tanzania will cost? Me and my girlfriend are planning to visit this east african country in November and will be staying there for a week. I checked the websites, but they have outrageous prices. I am looking for a budget safari that shouldnt cost more than $1000 for both of us. We are interested in doing the Serengati safari. Any tips and information will be appreciated. M |

For starters, park fees will be $30 per day for each of you. 6 days on safari = $360 The vehicle and driver/guide will cost at least $150 to $170 per day. 6 days on safari = $900 Lodge rates, which include all meals, even at the moderate places will be at least $150 per night. (Better lodges are more than $200) 6 days on safari = $900 Your thought of having a Tanzania safari for $1000 total for 2 people is an impossibility. You can't even do it for $1000 per person unless you are part of a larger group where the vehicle costs are shared. |

M I'm going to Tanzania in 3 weeks, and have checked out quite a few different safari companies. The ones I've had contact with have been either reccommended to me by people I know, or I've gone by the list in my guidebook (Bradt). The cheapest offer was from one or two of the ones from the guidebook list, and it was about twice the price that you want to pay... The author said that anything cheaper would most likely mean you're going on a trip with an outfitter that is not operating legally OR safely! So-called touts or flycatchers It CAN of course be a good trip anyway, if you're lucky.... but how sad it would be to be denied access to the parks because the company you're using haven't paid access fees, have the trip end because their crappy vehicle breaks down, etc etc.....
