Tanzania safaris are tailor-made, so there's no single price — but here's an honest guide to what's included, what drives the cost, and rough day rates by comfort level.
Because every Kabengo trip is private and built around you, there's no fixed price tag — but the drivers of cost are consistent, and knowing them helps you plan a trip that fits your budget without cutting the wrong corners.
What's usually included
- Private 4x4 with a professional guide, and park & conservation fees.
- Accommodation with meals as listed, and drinking water on game drives.
- Airport transfers and flying-doctors emergency cover.
Typically excluded: international flights, visas, travel insurance, tips, drinks and optional extras like a balloon safari.
What drives the price
- Accommodation level — the single biggest factor, from comfortable tented camps to luxury lodges.
- Season — peak times (the dry season and migration river-crossings) cost more; green season is better value.
- Group size — costs per person fall as a private vehicle is shared by more travellers.
- Parks and route — more parks, and internal flights vs driving, change the total.
- Trip length — more days means more park fees and nights.
A rough guide (per person, per day)
As an industry ballpark for an all-inclusive private safari: comfortable mid-range trips often fall around USD 400–650 per person per day, while luxury lodges run roughly USD 800–1,500+. Budget-conscious options can be lower again. These are guidelines only — your exact quote depends on the choices above.
Getting the best value
- Travel in the green or shoulder season for lower rates and fewer crowds.
- Share a private vehicle with friends or family to cut the per-person cost.
- Prioritise time in one or two parks over rushing through many.
