Tanzania National Park Safari: Prices and Conditions
Tanzania - now one of the few available foreign destinations for an exotic beach winter holiday. Demand is high: to enter the country, you do not need a certificate with a negative test result for COVID-19, there are direct flights from the regions of Russia.
Charters of tour operators Coral Travel, ANEX Tour, Intourist, PEGAS Touristik fly to Zanzibar.
Russians have visited Tanzania before, but the country was mainly in demand among individual tourists, now we are talking about “stream” tourism.
Anna Filatovskaya, “Russian Express”, believes that in previous seasons, tourists went to Tanzania consciously, and this year the role is played by a factor of some “hopelessness” for Russians who have almost no warm winter destinations.
Most tourists choose a beach holiday on the island of Zanzibar, and the popularity of safari programs can be said conditionally - mass Russian tourists can not yet appreciate this type of holiday. The main reason is the high price of tours.
“For excursions, there are few requests and they are not of a mass nature. The cost of a safari per person starts from $ 500 per night, it is usually recommended to take 2-3 days.
Tour operators offer individual programs and adjust them to the wishes of tourists. They usually range from 2-3 days to a week, depending on the selected national parks.
Tanzania has northern and southern national parks. Mikumi and Selous are popular - programs from 500-600 dollars per person. In them you can watch the prides of lions.
More premium parks (Ngorongoro and Serengeti) are in the north of the country.
“Safari accommodation in all parks usually takes place in lodges with all amenities, but this type of accommodation has its own characteristics. For example, in the lodge you can turn off electricity for hours, and at night you can hear the rustle of animals.
Coral Travel offers programs on the mainland from 2 days (1 night) to 6-day tours. There is an option to visit one park or several.
Experts recommend that tourists book tours for at least 2-3 nights, since it is difficult to assess the specifics of the parks for a shorter duration.
The most popular option for Russian Express customers is a vacation on the ocean plus a safari. Safaris are popular for 1 to 3 days.
The most expensive in the combined routes - accommodation and safari in the parks - 70% of the total price.
Coral Travel offers a two-day tour for $700. The price does not include a flight from the island of Zanzibar - Arusha (this is another $ 370 per person in both directions).
A popular program at Coral Travel is a 4-day tour (3 nights), within which tourists visit different parks, from $ 1,800 per person excluding a / b. Safari tour (4 nights) + rest in Zanzibar (6 nights) on the basis of hotels / lodges 4 * - 3000-3500 dollars per person.
