Additional Fees to Consider for Tanzania National Parks

When planning a Safari in Tanzania, there are a few extra costs beyond the standard park entrance fees. These charges vary depending on the park and specific activities. Here are some key fees to keep in mind:

• Ngorongoro Crater Descent Fee – If you plan to do a game drive inside the Ngorongoro Crater, there is an additional charge of $250 + VAT (approximately $295 per vehicle). This fee is per car, not per person, regardless of the number of passengers.
• Daily Vehicle Fee – Every vehicle entering a national park must pay a daily fee ranging from $10 to $15, depending on the park.
• Ngorongoro Conservation Area Transit Fee – To enter the Serengeti, visitors must first pass through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Even if you are only transiting and not doing a crater game drive, you must pay the Ngorongoro Conservation Area fee in addition to the Serengeti entrance fee, effectively doubling the cost per person for that day.

It’s important to factor in these costs when budgeting for your safari. Checking with your Tanzania Tour Operator or referring to official park websites will help ensure you have the latest fee details.

How to Pay Tanzania National Park Fees

For travellers booking with a tour operator, park fees are usually included in the Tanzania Safari Package, so there is no need to handle payments separately. However, if you are paying the fees yourself, there are a few important things to keep in mind:

• Cash Payments – Most national parks do not accept cash. Those that do will only take Tanzanian Shillings (TZS) or US Dollars (USD). Note that USD bills must be issued after 2010 and in good condition (no tears or damage).
• Credit Card Payments – Park fees can be paid with credit cards, but debit cards are not accepted.

To avoid payment issues, it’s best to confirm accepted payment methods with your tour operator or the park authorities in advance.
