Planning a Tanzania safari in 2026 often raises one big question: how much does it really cost? The truth is that Tanzania safaris are highly flexible and can be tailored to different budgets, travel styles, and expectations. At K & G Tanzania Travel Specialists, we believe in transparent pricing and helping travellers understand exactly what they are paying for—so they can choose the safari that suits them best.

Budget Safari: USD 200–400 per person per day
Mid-Range Safari: USD 400–750 per person per day
Luxury Safari: USD 750–1,500+ per person per day

Optional activities and personal expenses
We always advise our clients clearly on what is included and what to budget separately.
