Tanzania Crater Capers

12 days - from $3010

Wildlife in the Ngorongoro Crater Walk on Mount Kilimanjaro Village market Explore Zanzibar
Tanzania has a lot to offer the adventurous family. We can go elephant spotting in Tarangire National Park, look for the elusive tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara, and explore the Ngorongoro Conservation Area where the steepsided crater of an extinct volcano acts as a natural enclosure to a surprisingly abundant wildlife population. We will have the opportunity to delve into the rich culture of Tanzania discovering the traditions of the local tribes, walking through farming villages and meeting local craftsmen. Another highlight is a day walk on the flanks of Africa's highest and most iconic mountain and one of the world's most emblematic: Mt. Kilimanjaro. Finally, after all this adventure we will head to the spice island of Zanzibar where we can explore the bustling streets of Stone Town and relax by the crystal clear Indian Ocean.
