Crater & Coffee Escape
A 4-day private safari from Arusha that combines Tarangire National Park, a game drive on the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater and a final day near Kilimanjaro, with mid-range hotels and lodges.
On this 4-day tour, the highlight is the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the best places in Tanzania to see wildlife. It is easy to see the wild animals due to the crater's landscape, which is beautiful and breathtaking. The tour also takes you to Tarangire, the "home of the elephants," famous for the number of elephants in the park. There is plenty more to see on this tour.
