Tanzania Safari Cost
Pricing Philosophy
Ultra-luxury safari pricing should be clear, not generic.
A public tariff is useful for a fixed package. Bobby Safaris does not sell fixed packages. We design private Tanzania safaris around the people travelling, the season, the camps that genuinely fit, and the level of privacy required.
That means the honest answer is not a headline figure. The honest answer is an itemised proposal that shows what is included, why each routing choice exists, and where the investment is going.
If a published price would push you toward the wrong camp, the wrong dates, or a compromised route, we would rather begin with a conversation.
What you receive
- A private route designed by Don Kassim, not a package pulled from a tariff sheet
- Camp and concession choices matched to your season, pace, and privacy expectations
- An itemised proposal with inclusions, exclusions, and operational assumptions explained
- Direct WhatsApp access before booking, not a sales handoff through an intermediary
Representative 2026 ranges
What a private ultra-luxury Tanzania safari costs in 2026
These ranges are indicative — drawn from real 2026-season private-conservancy quotes for two travellers sharing, all-inclusive with private guide, dedicated vehicle, internal light-aircraft transfers, selected camps, park and concession fees, meals, drinks, and gratuities. Your proposal will reflect your specific dates, party composition, camp selection, and routing.
| Journey shape | Duration | Per-person range | When and why |
|---|---|---|---|
Green-season private safari Photographers, repeat travellers, parties who value quiet over spectacle. | 7 nights / 8 days | $11,000–$13,500 | November, late March, and April. Most private and best value; calving in the southern Serengeti (Jan–Feb) is exceptional. |
Shoulder-season private safari First-time Tanzania visitors who want migration wildlife without peak pricing. | 7 nights / 8 days | $13,500–$16,500 | May, June, late October. Migration building or winding down; camps open; guide availability strong. |
Peak-migration private safari Travellers whose primary objective is the Grumeti / Mara River crossings. | 7 nights / 8 days | $16,500–$22,000 | July–October northern Serengeti river crossings; highest camp pricing of the year. |
Multi-generational or extended journey Families, multi-generational parties, and guests combining safari with a private-charter Zanzibar close. | 9–12 nights | $22,000–$38,000 | Two-park or three-park combination with private-charter routing, multi-guide coverage, and family-style camp arrangements. |
Every journey is priced individually after a planning conversation with Don. The ranges above reflect 2026 quotes for two travellers sharing on a private-conservancy itinerary; multi-generational parties, exclusive-use camps, private-charter routing, and conservation-led extensions shift the figures upward. Don provides a detailed written proposal within 48 hours of your first message — there is no charge for the design and no obligation to proceed.
What changes the investment
The decisions that matter more than a public price table
Travel dates and wildlife objective
Peak migration windows, green-season privacy, calving season, photographic priorities, and school-holiday timing all affect camp availability and routing quality.
Camp and privacy level
A private villa, exclusive-use camp, remote conservancy, or highly curated suite changes both the experience and the operating structure behind the journey.
Routing and aviation
Private charters, fly-in logistics, remote parks, and seamless bush-to-beach combinations require different aircraft planning than a simple road circuit.
Guide allocation and special interests
Photography, walking, multi-generational travel, wellness, or conservation access may require specialist guides, permits, equipment, and additional operational support.
Planning next step
Start with the trip you want, then ask what it should cost.
Tell Don when you want to travel, who is coming, whether privacy or camp style matters most, and what would make the safari feel exceptional. He will advise whether the route belongs in the classic northern circuit, a private conservancy, a remote chartered circuit, or a quieter shoulder-season plan.
