Fees
we know that fees can be tricky to understand so we have created this simple list to try and help…
FEES
Included fees
these fees are included in our rates, you do not have to worry about paying for these
3 meals daily, and sundowner snacks
Private Maasai guide
In house drinks: beers, red and white house wine, gin, whiskey. This is subject to max 4 beers or other per glass drinks per person per day, 1 bottle wine per 2 guests per day. Additional consumption will be charged at listed rates.
Excluded fees
you have to pay these Fees yourself, these are NOT included within our rates. We can assist to pay in many circumstances, but you MUST account for these.
TAWA: Tanzania Wildlife Authority fees, similar to a park fee and there are fees for entry to this area and then overnight fees which are camping or lodge bednight fees. As our property is permanent you pay a fee that is different (currently lower) that if you are camping in the area. There are also additional Mountain climbing fees if you climb Lengai..
ACTIVITY FEES: gives you / your guests access to Lake Natron, the waterfalls and hominid footprints. You are assigned a guide by the CBO (Community Based Organisation) or with our camp we normally assign you one of our hosts / guides. Note: whilst this is a community payment and is mandatory we much prefer that you take one of our guides who are your hosts in camp. They know how to run our activities, provide value added services and knowledge (and have access to, for instance, our research papers on the footprints) and can time activities well. LENGAI is NOT included in the normal activity fee and must be paid seperately.
DISTRICT FEES: For most visitors (except those arriving and departing by helicopter or plane) you will almost invariably pass through 3 districts to reach this area. Monduli, Longido and then our camp is located in Ngorongoro District (note NOT Ngorongoro Convservation Area) and so each of those districts charges a ONE - OFF entry fee payable at Ngare Sero on entry to the area.
For all current fees please download this spreadsheet and feel free to use it to calculate your fees accordingly. We take no responsibility for the accuracy of data provided as it can and often does change..
