Tanzania Park Entry Fees 2025–2026 Explained
Planning a safari in Tanzania requires understanding park entry fees, as they are a significant part of the overall cost. Tanzania’s national parks and game reserves charge fees for entry, conservation, and sometimes vehicle access. Knowing these costs in advance helps you budget effectively for a 2025–2026 safari.
Understanding the Structure of Park Fees
Tanzania park entry fees vary by park, visitor nationality, and duration of stay. International tourists generally pay higher fees than local residents. Fees typically cover access to the park, guided game drives, and sometimes conservation support. For example, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater have higher fees due to their popularity and unique wildlife populations.
Typical Fees for Major Parks
- Serengeti National Park: Entry fees range between $70–$80 per adult per day for international visitors.
- Ngorongoro Conservation Area: Approximately $70–$80 per adult per day, plus additional vehicle fees.
- Tarangire National Park: Around $45–$50 per adult per day.
- Lake Manyara National Park: $35–$45 per adult per day.
Children usually receive discounted rates, and some parks offer reduced fees for multi-day stays.
Additional Charges to Consider
Besides entry fees, some parks may charge vehicle fees, camping or lodge fees, and guide fees. Game drives, walking safaris, and cultural experiences often incur extra costs. Budgeting for these additional charges ensures there are no surprises and that your safari remains smooth and enjoyable.
Tips for Managing Park Fees
- Book through a tour operator: Using a reputable company like Mandari Travel often includes park fees in your package, simplifying payments.
- Plan multi-day stays: Visiting a park for multiple days can be more cost-effective than multiple short visits.
- Check seasonal variations: Fees generally remain stable, but some lodges and camps adjust rates based on the season.
