Why choose Us For Your Private Safari Tour Prices in Tanzania

Accommodation tier is the single biggest driver of price, followed by whether the vehicle and guide are private or shared, trip length, season, and how many parks are included. Two itineraries covering the same parks can differ substantially in cost.

Yes, park entry fees and conservation area fees are standard inclusions in any quoted safari price from Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris, since these are mandatory costs built into the itinerary from the start rather than added later.

A private safari means the vehicle, guide, and daily schedule are dedicated entirely to your group, which costs more per person than sharing a vehicle and fixed itinerary with other travelers, but offers full flexibility over pace and timing.

Yes, peak dry season from July through September and the calving season in February typically carry higher lodge rates due to demand, while the shoulder and green season months from November through May often see lower accommodation prices.

A typical quote includes accommodation, full board meals, a vehicle and driver-guide, park entry fees, and airport transfers. Exact inclusions vary by operator, so it is worth confirming the full list before comparing prices.

International flights, Tanzanian visa fees, travel insurance, tips for guides and camp staff, alcoholic drinks at most lodges, and optional activities like hot air balloon flights are generally excluded and should be budgeted separately.

Accommodation typically represents the largest single cost within a safari budget, and the gap between a basic camping safari and an ultra-luxury lodge safari covering identical parks can be several times the total price.

Shorter trips have less time to spread fixed costs like vehicle mobilization and transfers, so per-day cost is sometimes slightly higher on very short trips, while longer itineraries can achieve better per-day value.

Most operators, including Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris, offer reduced rates for children sharing a room with parents, often around half the adult rate depending on the specific lodges chosen and their own child pricing tiers.

A common guideline is around 15 to 20 US dollars per day for the driver-guide and a smaller amount for camp staff, though this varies by group size and trip length. We can give more specific guidance once your itinerary is finalized.

The main overlooked costs are visa fees, travel insurance, tips, and drinks at lodges that charge separately for alcohol, so it is worth asking specifically what is and isn't included rather than assuming a quoted price covers everything.

Booking directly with a locally based operator like Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris generally avoids the added markup of an international booking agency, since the itinerary is built and managed by the people running the trip on the ground.

On group departures, per-person cost typically decreases as group size increases up to a point, since fixed vehicle and guide costs are shared across more travelers, though very large groups sometimes require an additional vehicle.

Budget camping safaris using shared vehicles, public campsites, and simpler meals offer the lowest overall cost for covering the main Northern Circuit parks, while still including the core game drives and park access that make up the safari experience.

Yes, Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris builds every quote around your stated budget, dates, and priorities, adjusting park selection, trip length, and accommodation tier to fit rather than starting from a fixed package.

We break down exactly what drives the cost of each itinerary rather than presenting a single bundled number, so travelers understand where their money is going and can make informed decisions within their trip.
