Tanzania: Difficult Starts and Safaris

In this post we're exploring Tanzania and booking safaris on a budget to Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater. Most safari packages you see online can be expensive: often $500 per person per day. For long-term travelers like us, that’s just not sustainable. So we set out to experience Tanzania’s incredible parks without breaking the bank and having closer interactions to the places we visit. We start our journey by crossing from Nairobi, Kenya into Arusha, Tanzania, traveling on the shuttle and bus system. From Arusha to Karatu, we visit markets, stay at a lower-cost homestay inn, and book safaris directly through local operators. Check out the video and our latest blog post for all the details.
