How much are the park fees in Tanzania? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
TANAPA manages the Tanzanian National Parks. Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Lake Natron are managed by separate organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The TANAPA conservation entry fees as of June 2022 – 2023 are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Children up to 5 years are free of charge<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Children between 5 and 15 years pay $15- 20 conservation entry fee. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fees are quoted per person including VAT, multiple entry, up to 12 hours with a day pass, or 24 hours when sleeping inside the park. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The TANAPA hotel concession fees: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are staying in a lodge or private mobile camp inside the TANAPA national parks, you also need to pay a hotel concession fees. Enquire with your lodge if the concession fee has been included in their price, or if you need to pay for this yourself. Most hotels and mobile camps will arrange this for you, and have the concession fee added to your hotel bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Children up to 5 years are free of charge<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Children between 5 and 15 years pay $11.80 concession fee.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Further TANAPA fees<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tanapa fees for optional activities and services<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ngorongoro fees<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The fee for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is $70.80 per person per 24 hours, plus the vehicle fee as mentioned above.\u00a0If you are planning to visit the Serengeti and are only in transit through the NCA, you still have to pay the\u00a0NCA fee twice<\/strong>: on your way going to the Serengeti and on your way returning from the Serengeti. The only way to avoid paying the NCA fee twice is by exiting\/entering the Serengeti via Klein’s gate on the North East, on your way to\/ from Lake Natron. Its a very scenic route from Kleins Gate to Lake Natron, but not enjoyed by everyone, as it has some pretty bad stretches and your drive in remote area. Check Roadtrip Tanzania’s\u00a0Travel Guide on Lake Natron, for route description from Serengeti to Lake Natron.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to enter the crater for a game drive in the Ngorongoro crater, you have to pay the additional Crater Service Fee of $295 per vehicle each time you go down the crater. Read more about how much to budget for your Ngorongoro Safari drive in our Destination Guide,\u00a0here.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gombe National Park additional fees <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Gombe Stream National Park, located on the western border of Tanzania on the tropical Lake Tanganyika, is the best park in Tanzania to spot chimps. Also, hiking through the lush forest and swimming in the crystal clear lake are popular activities here. It’s a real off the beaten track experience, but comes at a price. Apart from the above mentioned entrance and concession fees, you’ll have to budget for the boat ride. You can’t take your Tanzania rental car into Gombe Stream National Park. You park your vehicle at Kigoma and take a boat. This costs $ 354 per boat, taking up to 11 people. Tanzania is probably the only country in the world where also a ”waiting fee” is charged of $ 23,60 pp. One might think if a discount for waiting wouldn’t be more appropriate..?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) are countrywide conservation areas, established to benefit and help local communities throughout Tanzania. You can read more about these areas and their benefits\u00a0here.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n These areas are different from National Parks, Conservation Areas, and Game Reserves. Therefore, they have their own fees and regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can expect the following entry and vehicle fees: Lake Natron lies in a Wildlife Management Area. There are village fees which need to paid on the road to Natron. There are three separate gates and the costs will be $15 + $15 + $10 per person. The village fees are paid in cash on arrival to the gates in either US Dollars or Tanzanian Shillings, and are not covered by the WMA permit nor your lodge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please see the most common Wildlife Management Areas listed below as well as the lodges and campsites included in these conservation areas.
