Ngorongoro is a huge crater 20km in diameter... From rim you have great views on the crater and mountains beyond. We were quite high as I believe altitude was around 2700m above sea level. Besides we had the best hotel a thousand stars one... 61514 I thought on the rim will be quieter than in Serengeti... how I was wrong.. http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Tanzania/North/Tarangire-National-Park/blog-145422.html Hi everyone im writing to you from an internet cafe in Arusha Tanzania.

We hoped that since it took so much time and energy to plan that it would pay off in a great Safari trip. The problem that most people encounter with safaris is that the animals don't make the same plans to see YOU So you may or may not see as many dependi http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Tanzania/North/Tarangire-National-Park/blog-42499.html Saturday 5th FebruaryWe had early breakfast for us that is at 8 am. Paul lives a musician's life with staying up late at night and getting up late in the morning and we tend to follow suit as a family.
