Safari Cost Breakdown

Budget safaris typically run from US $200–250 per person per day. Jayva offers this full‑circuit budget safari at around US $900 per person based on shared camping during our low‑season promotions.

Why Budget Doesn’t Mean Basic

Tanzania’s camping safaris are often incredibly rewarding—most game drives, guides, park fees, and meals are included. Staying at private, bush camps near the park give atmosphere and convenience without the lodge price tag.

Best Time to Go

The ideal travel window is during the dry season (June–October), offering excellent wildlife viewing and the Great Migration timing—September is peak. Low season (Nov–May) gives lush landscapes and fewer crowds, with discounted safari rates.

Your Comfort & Safety

Our camps include quality mattresses, clean linens, and warm showers where available. All tents are safely distanced and located near park entrance points. Your safety is our top priority—from well‑maintained vehicles to experienced guides.

We’re locally based and traveler‑focused—meaning lower overheads and better rates than foreign‑owned tour operators, but without sacrifice on quality, service, or experience. Booking direct ensures every dollar enhances your safari.

How to Book

Getting started is easy: reach out via our website or WhatsApp. We’ll tailor dates, group size, and extras to you. A deposit reserves your slot, final payment is made two weeks before departure.
