SAFARI ACCOMODATIONS

Tanzania offers the best safaris in the world that’s why it wins tourism awards for its incredible national parks. Being the best also means that Tanzania safaris are the most expensive within East Africa. While neighboring East Africa countries may offer general wildlife viewing safaris, only Tanzania has the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar Island. Tanzania has the highest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro.One of the reasons for the elevated cost is that Tanzania offers unique attractions found nowhere else in the World .

A price  indication for Safari is rather complicated, because the rates very much depend on the number of people traveling, the travel period, the duration, domestic  flights, types of accommodation, etc.

Also the location of lodges will affect the price. On average the cost of Tanzania safari per person staying in Luxury accommodation is roughly $600 to $850 per day. The average cost of safari staying in middle class of accommodation is roughly $350 to $450 per day. The average cost of Budget safari staying in Campsites is roughly $250. The average cost of Staying in Zanzibar cost range from $100 to $500 per day. While the Premium safari package range from $1.000 to $1.500 per day.

This price includes: park fees/transport /Guide/meal/accommodation/AMREF flying doctor /soft drinks/ local flights and not includes:  Alcohol/international flights/visa/additional services like hot air balloon, mountain climb, walking safari etc.

When designing your tailor-made safari we counsel to select the hotel/lodges that have the best price/ quality offer. Our minimum standard is mid-range; basic tented camping and budget accommodations.

The prices for a family safari package  are surprisingly attractive since children up 15 years pay less park fees and benefit from 25% discount when sharing a room with their parents.

TRAVEL IN LOW SEASON:

Traveling in low season attracts special discount. Within April and May and even November , when the number of visitors drops many accommodations also reduce their rates .  This will enable someone to go on a safari that would have costed double or triple the other (high season) months.

BUDGET(camping) SAFARIS:

 Camping in national parks is permitted at designated camp sites, or outside the parks by privately-run site. Visitors travel with either their tents and supplies or rent from the local tour operators. A cook will accompany the tour to prepare meals during the safari, as well as pack of all the food needed for the duration of the safari.These necessities must be carried in the safari vehicle , or on top, making the vehicle quite crowded or limiting the option of raising up the convertible roof for a better view of wildlife. At campsites, all facilities are shared with other campsite users and are usually very basic.

While some budget safaris often seek to cut costs by operating old vehicles and offering basic food menus, there are others who do a great job of organizing discount adventures. If you’re prepared  to do a bit of research regarding each operator,and don’t mind an adventure featuring basic amenities then you can enjoy a great , simple African safari for less.

CLASSIC (mid-range) SAFARIS:

Classic safaris are the most popular choice  of AFRICAN MERAVIGLIA SAFARIS clients. These trips combine a wonderful level of comfort from our specially-selected hospitality providers.We personally ensure the quality of the hotels and lodges we recommend, as we visit them annually.The accommodations we use offer excellent food, wonderful scenery, and amenities such as internet and swimming pools for guests’comfort and enjoyment .

AFRICAN MERAVIGLIA SAFARIS has a team of top guides and clients receive high standard of guiding for the duration of their safari.Our guides are fluent in Italian, English, French, Spanish and German  and safe drivers who really know Tanzania and its wildlife.

It is our opinion that the Classic safari is what the majority of travelers to Tanzania are really seeking: guests experience the absolute best of Tanzania in comfort  for a reasonable price.

LUXURY SAFARIS:

Luxury safaris go the extra miles to ensure an exquisite experience.Hotel and lodges are located in some of the most picturesque locations with special features such as private pools or saunas. Service standards and meals at these locations are superior to midrange safaris.

These safaris often include special activities and excursions, such as hot –air balloon rides over the Serengeti or riding horses in Arusha National Park. Of course, Luxury Safaris are much more expensive option for touring Tanzania.

PREMIUM SAFARIS:

Premium safaris allow guests to experience award-winning hospitality, such as the Four Seasons, Sasaqwa, Serena, Singita , or And Beyond : companies extolled by international travel magazines. A Premium safari in Tanzania could be the most incredible trip of one’s life. This option is the top tier of travel in Tanzania, but is also by far the most expensive , at an average of USD 800 per night. Some accommodations on premium safaris are located on private game reserves where only clients of the private company are allowed to enter. This makes for a truly exceptional experience.Private chartered flights are an important part of a premium safaris. Flights allow clients to see more of Tanzania in a short amount of time, by air travel from the Serengeti in Northern Tanzania to the Mahale Mountain in Western Tanzania, for example .While all of this sounds incredible, the cost can inhibit some travelers from experiencing this type of travel. Premium safaris are exclusive and not popular for majority of visitors to Tanzania.
