Dollar figures are approximate, converted at the Bank of Tanzania mean rate of TZS 2,636.74 per US dollar on 23 October 2026. The authority charges the shilling amount.
- The dated TANAPA records publish these TZS amounts without a tax field. The tariff webpage says fees include 18% VAT where applicable, but the linked 2023/24 booklet says charges exclude 18% VAT. Tax treatment for the dated records remains unresolved; obtain the authority’s tax breakdown before payment. These are source amounts, with no tax calculation or currency conversion.
- The page header and linked booklet describe 2023/24, while individual live records carry later dates. Historical amounts, charging units and tax rules do not establish the current payable total.
- The current API does not state charging units for extras. Historical camping, ranger and rescue units are not silently extended to current products.
Who pays, and for how long
- The current official tariff page states conservation fees are valid for 24 hours from entry. Confirm re-entry and departure terms for the actual issued permit; the historic booklet is not sufficient to promise a current multiple-entry entitlement.
- Adult is 16 years and above; the live child products cover ages 5–15. The current page states children under five enter free.
- The published page requires EAC citizenship evidence and a valid residence or work permit for the expatriate category. Citizenship and residency are not interchangeable.
- Adult non-resident and expatriate records end 14 March 2027; children and EAC adult records end 30 June 2027. Obtain a replacement tariff for later travel.
Activities, extras and inclusions
| Charge or activity | Published amount | Scope and inclusions |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle entry | Confirm with the authority | The live schedule has separate local/foreign and weight-based vehicle products. |
| Public camping | Confirm with the authority | Current camping products exist, but their per-night unit is not stated in the live records. Obtain the applicable campsite quotation. |
| Overnight concession | Confirm with the authority | Nyerere non-resident and expatriate adult concession records end 30 September 2026; no October replacement was found in the retrieved full schedule. EAC/resident adult and child records have separate validity to 30 June 2027. Confirm category, stay, unit and replacement tariff; the expired adult amount is not a current quote. |
| Ranger or guided activity | Confirm with the authority | Do not infer activity availability or extend a historic group/day unit to a current product without confirmation. |

- TANAPA live dated tariff records. Each record has its own dates: seasonal adult entry records generally 16 May 2026–14 March 2027; annual records generally 1 July 2026–30 June 2027. Check the individual category and product. The dated records publish TZS amounts without a tax field. The webpage’s generic VAT-inclusive statement conflicts with the historical linked booklet’s VAT-exclusive statement; the dated records do not resolve this. Tax is unconfirmed, and no 18% addition or currency conversion is applied. The static header still refers to 2023/24.
- TANAPA 2023/24 tariff booklet. 1 July 2023–30 June 2024; historical reference only. Used to identify historical age definitions and charging units, not to extend old USD rates into current or future dates. Its VAT-exclusive statement differs from the current page.
