2. How expensive is Tanzania?
A trip to Tanzania costs around $900-$X. The National Parks are slightly expensive since they’re super exclusive and give you access to preserved wildlife.

But with all that Tanzania has to offer, paying a slight premium is always worth it because the experiences are such that you’ll remember them for long afterward!
