You will stumble upon plenty of budget travelers in Tanzania if you think that the country is expensive. It is a fact that the national park fees are very high, but if you don’t pay them, then you won’t be able to see the wildlife or climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Safari tours can be expensive as well, but you have choices of accommodations and services to make it seem cheaper. Apart from these activities, Tanzania is actually a very cost-effective country to visit. It all depends on how expensive you want your Tanzania holiday. Purchase a San Pelgrini water bottle at the Grand Hyatt for $15 or then buy a bottle of Dasani across the street for $1 – that’s your choice! Sleep at a luxurious 5 star hotel or just stretch your feet at some budgeted hostel or a lodge, it all matters.
