For how long you are planning your Tanzania Safari Tours determines your safari cost in many ways. For those planning a budget safari can choose a shorter itinerary.

However a longer itinerary is more fruitful as Tanzania has so much to offer and not less than a week or more is required to cover all the must see magical destinations of this East African country.
