Tips
Package Price – 4 Days Budget Tarangire, Ndutu Calving, and Ngorongoro Safari
The price ranges from USD 1,800 to USD 2,400 per person sharing, based on two or more people traveling together. This range is not the solo-traveler price.
Several factors affect the final price, including the level of accommodation, services provided, number of travelers, and inclusions. When more people share a private safari vehicle, the cost per person can decrease. Accommodation choices also influence the rate, while a very low-cost package may exclude services such as airport transfers or Arusha hotel accommodation.
