How much are park fees in Tanzania?

Park fees constitute a major cost of any safari or Kilimanjaro climb. Tanzanian park fees are outlined below and are current as of July 1, 2021. All park entry fees are charged in 24 hour increments while campsite fees are charged on a nightly basis.

In addition to entry and overnight fees, there are many activities that also incur park fees. Park fees are added to the activity cost for a total price for the activity. For example, a night game drive from Lemala Mpingo Ridge in Tarangire National Park is USD 120 per person + the USD 59 park fee, for a total of USD $179 per adult.
