This 9-day safari begins in Tarangire, home to some of the largest elephant herds in East Africa and excellent birding in the area's wetlands. You’ll also explore the game-rich landscapes of the extraordinary Ngorongoro Crater.

The accommodation has the ambiance of laidback luxury but the settings give you front seats to some of Mother Nature’s greatest spectacles. I highly recommend this journey for those couples with a taste for rugged beauty and authentic wilderness encounters.
