From 1 July 2013 park fees in Tanzania have risen. This applies to all the national parks (eg. Serengeti, Manyara, Tarangire, Ruaha, Mahale) and you should check before travel whether you will be obliged to pay these increases. Additionally, in the Selous visitors will now be charged on a 24-hour basis which means you may have an extra charge if you have a later departure on your last day.
If you’re travelling to Tanzania’s national parks, you’ll have to make sure that you factor in park fees. This is especially true if you’re taking your own vehicle (although this is only allowed in certain parks) as it can cost hundreds of dollars to do this.
Most of the National Parks in Tanzania require you to pay conservation fees in order to enter the park. These are usually charged per day,
