Travelling with friends? Share the cost

Prices are per person and drop as your group grows, because you share the vehicle, guide and fixed fees.

  • One person pays: choose your group size and set the quantity to the number of travellers.
  • Everyone pays their own share: each traveller books one place with the same group size and the same Group name – we link you together.

Park fees explained

We quote foreign non-resident rates with 18% VAT. Road safaris to the Serengeti cross the Ngorongoro Conservation Area on the way in and out, so the Ngorongoro fee is paid twice, plus the Serengeti fee for each 24 hours and $295 per vehicle to descend into the crater. All of this is already in your price.
