How much does a safari cost in Tanzania

A Tanzania Safari is a lifelong dream for many people and those privileged enough to experience this are never the same again.  History shows that the term Safari (from the Arabic word ‘safar’) was once used to describe all journeys into Africa and beyond. For most, the destination is exotic, unknown and invokes a reasonable amount of trepidation. If you are reading this, it could be one of the first steps in making your dream a reality.  But how much is it going to cost? The costs involved in a Tanzanian Safari vary hugely, but it is not going to be cheap. Tanzanian Safaris are a significant investment and we want to help you understand the range of options available and the factors that influence the final cost. The nature of Safaris can be quite adventurous and Lion King’s number one priority at all times is your safety. This requires significant financial investment, including our staff and fleet of vehicles.  Lion King is a local, family owned Tour Operator and all our staff have become extended family members. If you find a safari price that is significantly lower than others, something (or someone) is undoubtedly being compromised.
