Lake Eyasi Fees
By the Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris team
Our Arusha-based guides and safari planners know Lake Eyasi first-hand, and write this guide from experience on the ground.
Lake Eyasi is not a national park, so there are no TANAPA park fees. Instead, visitors pay local fees that support the district and the communities around the lake, such as village or council fees and payments for guided cultural visits with the Hadzabe and Datoga. Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris includes all applicable Lake Eyasi fees in your itemised quote and arranges payment for you, so your visit is simple and benefits local people directly.

Who sets the fees for Lake Eyasi?
Because Lake Eyasi is not a national park, there are no TANAPA park fees.

We include all of these in your quote and make sure payments reach the right people.
Do children pay lower fees?
