All prices are quoted in USD and are per person based on sharing a double or twin en-suite room in a private 4×4 pop-top Tour Jeep.

Safari Prices During Wildebeest Calving Season (Mid December – Mid March)

The Wildebeest Calving Season is one of the most magical times to visit Tanzania, as thousands of newborn wildebeest and zebras fill the Ndutu plains. Because this period is highly sought-after, prices reflect the increased demand for accommodations and guides.

Prices include accommodation, meals, private 4×4 transport, and professional guiding. The more people booked together, the better the per-person rate.

Additional Charges During Peak Holiday Periods

During festive periods such as Christmas, New Year, and Easter, some accommodations apply a surcharge due to higher demand and special holiday arrangements. This extra fee is charged per person per night.

• Budget: $300

• Comfort: $370

• Luxury: $690

This ensures you enjoy privacy and comfort throughout your stay.

When to Book for the Best Availability and Prices

Timing your booking can make a big difference in availability and pricing for your safari adventure. Knowing when to plan ahead helps you secure the best accommodations and experiences. Here are some key tips to ensure you get the most out of your booking:

Early booking ensures you get your preferred accommodation type and travel dates without disappointment.
