Package Price – 4 Days Family Tarangire, Ndutu Calving, and Ngorongoro Safari

The package costs USD 1,800 to USD 2,400 per person sharing, based on two or more people traveling together. This rate is not the solo-traveler price.

The final cost depends on the level of service, accommodation category, number of travelers, and inclusions. When a larger family shares the private safari vehicle, the cost per person can decrease. Accommodation selection also affects the price. Very low-cost arrangements may exclude services such as airport transfers and Arusha hotel accommodation.
