3-Day Highlights of Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara – Shared departures

Shared price by seats filled

Everyone in the vehicle pays the price for the number of seats filled, so each traveller who joins brings it down.

Prices are per person sharing a room; a room of your own is USD 2 more for the trip. You never pay more than the price quoted when you booked. A seventh traveller needs a second vehicle, so ask the operator for a price above six.
