Going for a safari alone is worth it. And it doesn't have to be too expensive either! The culture is well intact in most areas, the history is rich, and the people are generally helpful and friendly. I can't say much for the food, especially being vegetarian.
The daily total includes all lodging, food, booze, transportation, sightseeing, visas, etc. I don't include the money I spend on gifts for friends and I do not include the flight price.

You won't find the greatest selection of vegetarian food in Tanzania. Especially if you are living on a budget and eating at the local stalls.
