Tipping, Currency and Budgeting for Your Safari

Planning a safari budget in Tanzania turns out to be easy, as most camps are all-inclusive. In the field you'll mostly spend on tips and perhaps a souvenir, while meals and activities don't add up as you go. For tips and small purchases, US dollars are widely accepted. Pack small bills in newer condition, because worn or damaged notes may be turned down. Details on daily amounts are in our tipping guide, and our money and ATMs guide gives the broader currency picture. Ask your booking operator exactly what the quoted price covers. Park fees, domestic flights and drinks are included by some operators and charged on top by others. For all the details, read our hidden costs guide.
