What the park charges on top

The rate above buys you a bed. Ruaha National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.

Park entry$30 plus 18% VAT, charged per 24 hours.
$35.4per person, per day
Vehicle$40 plus VAT for a foreign-registered vehicle; a Tanzanian-registered one is about $9.
$47.2per vehicle, per day

Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $354 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
