3 Day Kilimanjaro Coffee and Wildlife Package
The 3 Day Kilimanjaro Coffee and Wildlife Package combines one day of cultural exploration around the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro with two days of wildlife safari in northern Tanzania.
The first day focuses on Chagga coffee culture, village life, farming, banana cultivation, local food and the agricultural landscapes surrounding Mount Kilimanjaro.
Day 2 continues to Tarangire National Park, where travellers explore baobab landscapes and habitats used by elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, African buffalo, antelope, lions and many other species.
Day 3 visits Ngorongoro Crater, creating opportunities to observe wildebeest, zebras, buffalo, lions, spotted hyenas, hippos, elephants, gazelles and possible black rhino.
The itinerary offers a useful balance between culture and wildlife for travellers who want to understand both local communities and Tanzania's natural environments.
The exact cultural activities depend on the participating coffee farm, village, agricultural season and local arrangements.
Wildlife remains free roaming throughout the safari, so no particular species, predator interaction or Big Five combination can be guaranteed.
The 3 Day Kilimanjaro Coffee and Wildlife Package can be arranged privately and can also be combined with a Mount Kilimanjaro trek, Serengeti safari or Zanzibar holiday.
