The Tanzania Park Fees Scheme

In our safaris the price is always all inclusive and also includes the cost of park fees.

Tanzania is the African country that has been most committed to the conservation of its natural heritage.

Choosing to take a safari in Tanzania means not only having the certainty of unforgettable encounters with animals in authentic and unspoilt landscapes, but also supporting the will of a nation in preserving its natural wealth. For this reason the system of taxation of parks is not to be considered only a burden, but above all a contribution to the survival of a precious resource for humanity.

Parks in Tanzania are part of protected areas with different regulations and fees depending on the entity that manages them:

We show you the tax system so you can consciously assess which itinerary to prefer, knowing where and how much taxes affect the price of your safari. We remind you that the entry into the parks in Tanzania is only allowed to the authorized off-road vehicles of a local tour operator with regular license. Any non-tanzanian tourist organization must rely on a local tour operator. “DIY tourism” is hardly practicable in the parks of Tanzania. With us, local tour operator with Italian participation, you can realize your dream of a tailor-made safari!

Park fees in Tanzania come with a fairly complex scheme where multiple entries add up for each person and day, but it is thanks to the organization of the territory that take care of it that Tanzania offers the richest and most exciting natural and wildlife show in Africa.
