Guests often ask why park fees are so high. The honest answer is that they are what keeps these ecosystems intact — and they are non-negotiable for a reason.

What fees fund

Anti-poaching patrols, ranger salaries, road and airstrip maintenance, veterinary response and research programmes.

  • Ranger and anti-poaching operations
  • Habitat and water-source management
  • Community revenue sharing around park boundaries

Why transparency matters

We show park fees as their own line in every quote so you can see exactly what is conservation cost versus operator cost.

Our own contribution

A share of every Fondness booking supports school and water projects in the communities bordering Tarangire and Manyara.
