Choose the correct visitor category
Nationality, residence and age are distinct. Use the managing authority’s actual definitions and required evidence. A holiday visa or another country’s resident permit does not automatically establish eligibility for the local resident rate.
Student concessions and activity minimum ages are separate from child admission. Where no child amount or age rule is published, obtain confirmation; do not substitute zero or borrow a neighbouring park’s rule.
Separate entry from the rest
- Entry or conservation: match the visitor category and chargeable period.
- Vehicles and boats: check registration, capacity, route and unit.
- Overnight stays: confirm camping, concession, conservancy and accommodation charges separately.
- Activity permits: check minimum ages, booking conditions and whether ordinary entry or a guide is already included.
- Taxes and payment charges: use the source’s stated treatment; do not infer a tax percentage from the difference between two amounts.
What do safari park fees include? explains the lines in a quotation. Gorilla and chimpanzee permit costs explains the activity distinction.
Count the applicable charging units
A calendar day, a daytime ticket, a rolling 24-hour period and a cumulative overnight tariff are different units. Use the exact authority rule; do not multiply a base amount where the manager instead publishes a two-night or three-night total.
Staying inside or outside a park explains the questions to ask when comparing accommodation. Family park fees covers age bands and activity eligibility.

Sources and publication periods
Last checked: 20 October 2026. Published references are not a live ticket quotation. Use the stated dates, visitor categories and charging units; confirm the final payable charges for your route.
- 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- TANAPA 2023/24 tariff booklet. 1 July 2023–30 June 2024; historical reference only.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.
- NCAA Safari Portal published tariffs. No effective period stated on checked publication. The portal and main authority tariff page publish different amounts. Tax treatment is not stated; confirm the final payable amount with NCAA.
- NCAA main-site tariff page. No effective period stated on checked publication. Displays higher amounts than the Safari Portal. Neither the difference nor its effective period is explained on the checked page; no tax conversion is assumed.
- NCAA visitor guidelines and procedures. Official guidelines checked 20 October 2026. Includes single-entry permit and crater guiding/vehicle rules. Confirm conditions for the actual booking.
