Hotel/Resort Recommendations:
The Fairmont and Melia are more expensive, and due to their much higher prices, they are not included in the average price range. Similarly, you can find a number of hotels for much cheaper than $14 a night. One was even listed for under $.24 a night. Please when booking a hotel take your safety into consideration.
Excursions:
Costs of excursions don’t seem to vary much throughout the year so no monthly breakdown will be given.
Safari: $150- $500 per person per day. Tanzania is one of the most expensive safari destinations.
Cheetah’s Rock: $150 per person. You get to pet Cheetahs and other African animals. Do I really need to say more?
Safari Hot Air Balloon ride: $600 per person. It’s exactly what the title says, a safari, but with the added view of a hot air balloon. The ride is between 50 and 70 minutes with the company, https://www.serengeti.com/serengeti-balloon-safaris.php
Prison Island: $60- $120 per person. This is a private island tour that lasts 2-3 hours. You will get to enjoy beautiful beaches and play with the turtles.
Skydiving: $450 per person. Take a tandem jump over beautiful Zanzibar! It’s not the most traditional thing but probably one of the most adventurous. As someone who loves skydiving, I highly recommend this.
Snorkeling and Swimming with Dolphins: $55 per person. The trip is a total of about 4 hours and you’ll have the chance to see some of the rarest wildlife in Tanzania while swimming in beautiful blue water. And this is not swimming in some tank with captive dolphins. These are actual wild dolphins. https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g488128-d25127588-Mnemba_Island_snorkeling_and_Swimming_with_Dolphin-Mnemba_Zanzibar_Archipelago.html
Maasai Village Visit: $95 per person. A trip to Tanzania would not be complete without a visit to their native tribes. Here, you’ll learn about their unique culture, and participate in some of their customs. Lunch will also be provided. https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g317084-d17565794-Maasai_village_visit_and_Hot_springs_with_Lunch-Moshi_Kilimanjaro_Region.html
