Budget the trip as three layers: the safari price, the extras that sit outside it, and your personal spending. On Kilita's published joining and private cards, a 3-day Serengeti and Ngorongoro camping safari starts at $650 joining or $850 private per person, a 5-day northern-circuit camping safari at $1,000 joining or $1,300 private, and a 3-day midrange lodge safari at $800 joining or $1,050 private. Those figures are starting rates. They are not a promise that park fees, drinks, tips, and flights are inside the number.
How Kilita plans it
A week on the northern circuit, with Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, usually sits between the 5-day and 7-day cards. Camping keeps the per-person rate down. Midrange lodges cost more and add a private room, a shower, and a bed after the game drive. International flights to Kilimanjaro or Arusha, travel insurance, visas, tips, and laundry are separate. Ask for the written list of what the quoted card includes before you compare it with another company.
What to do next
- Ask for joining and private prices for the same dates.
- Separate park fees, meals, and the vehicle in the quote.
- Keep a cash fund for tips, drinks, and souvenirs.
- Add the international flight only after the safari dates are fixed.
