Tips
5 Days Private Serengeti, Ndutu, and Ngorongoro Safari Package Price
The safari costs approximately USD 2,580 to USD 3,000 per person sharing for two or more travelers. This rate is not for solo travelers, who should request a separate private-safari quotation.
The final cost depends on several factors. These include the services selected, accommodation standard, number of travelers, and the inclusions requested. When several people travel together, shared vehicle and guide costs can reduce the amount paid per person.
Accommodation selection also affects the quotation. Budget tents generally provide a more economical option, while mid-range and luxury tented camps offer different comfort levels. Very low advertised prices may exclude services such as airport transfers or Arusha accommodation before and after the safari.
