TANAPA National Park Fees (2026)

Tanzania national park fees — Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Arusha, Ruaha. Conservation + camping + vehicle.

TANAPA park fees — the line-by-line breakdown

Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) charges per-person daily entry fees + vehicle entry fees + VAT 18% on all park visits. Premium parks (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Kilimanjaro) cost more than the Southern Circuit (Ruaha, Mikumi, Selous/Nyerere). Most operators bundle these into the daily rate, but it helps to know what's actually being charged.

Park categories

  • Premium (Northern Circuit) — Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Tarangire. USD 53–71 adult/day.
  • Climbing — Kilimanjaro (USD 70/day for the climb).
  • Southern Circuit — Ruaha, Selous/Nyerere, Mikumi. USD 30–50/day.
  • Western Circuit — Mahale (chimps), Gombe, Katavi. USD 30–100/day; remote and flight-only.

Special charges

  • Ngorongoro Crater service fee — additional USD 295 per vehicle for the descent (one descent per day).
  • Vehicle entry — USD 40–200/day by weight class.
  • Camping fees — USD 30–50/person/night (special campsites higher).
