Bananas are the main export in the area, and there are over thirty species of banana in the village, including a red banana which we recommend you give a try!  Continue to the Crater where we will spend the nights in an authentic tented camp in the rim valley close to the Crater floor.

National Parks

A shallow, alkaline lake in northern Tanzania at the base of the active Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano. Known for its striking red and pink hues caused by mineral-rich waters and algae, Lake Natron is one of the most important breeding grounds for lesser flamingos in East Africa. The surrounding landscape of volcanic plains, escarpments, and hot springs supports hardy wildlife adapted to the harsh conditions, while the dramatic scenery makes it a unique and otherworldly destination.

A 2,642 km² park in northern Tanzania named after the Tarangire River that flows through it. Tarangire is characterized by classic African savanna dotted with monumental baobab trees and is especially known for its large elephant populations (during the dry season, it has one of the highest concentrations of elephants). The park also shelters plentiful wildlife like wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, buffalo, and predators, all drawn to its life-sustaining river and swamps.

Tanzania’s flagship park, covering ~14,763 km² of rolling plains, kopjes, and riverine forests. The Serengeti hosts Earth’s greatest large-mammal migration: each year nearly 2 million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles follow the rains in a epic circular trek. It’s also famed for its predators – the vast plains sustain around 3,000 lions, plus many leopards, cheetahs, hyenas – offering some of the most spectacular wildlife viewing on the planet.

The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest unbroken volcanic caldera and is regarded as the 8th wonder of the world. It is one of the most diverse and fascinating areas of Tanzania and has been given the status of a World heritage site and International Biosphere Reserve. The fertile slopes and steep forest-covered walls are home to approximately 30,000 animals including the rare black rhino. The various ecosystems found within the 260 square kilometre crater floor sustain Cape buffalo, elephants, wildebeest, zebras, elands, gazelles, hippos, numerous bird species as well as a high concentration of predators. Although birdlife is generally good throughout the year, from November to April, migratory birds from Europe and Northern Africa are present and many resident birds are in breeding plumage.
