Package Price for the 6 Days Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, and Ngorongoro Safari

The package costs approximately USD 3,000 to USD 3,800 per person, based on sharing for two or more travelers. The quoted range is not intended as the solo-traveler rate, and international flights are not included.

Several factors determine the final price. Your accommodation level, number of travelers, selected services, and inclusions all influence the quotation. Traveling with more people can lower the per-person cost because some safari expenses are shared.
