Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) Transit Fees
All guests traveling to Serengeti National Park through the Conservation Area are required to pay the Ngorongoro Crater fees, regardless of their interest in participating in activities within the crater. The transit fees are assessed per individual, like the Ngorongoro Crater fee, which is levied once upon entry via the main gate. If you do not want to descend into the crater, you will just be required to pay the Conservation Area transit cost of 295 USD, thereby exempting you from the crater fee. These expenses often catch many guests off guard, particularly those opting for self-drive; hence, it is often advisable to engage local operators to curate an optimal safari experience in Tanzania.
