Cheli + Peacock (chelipeacock.com) now offers a new way to explore Tanzania — scenic helicopter safaris out of Arusha. The choppers can carry four passengers plus the pilot. Available routes include:
· Arusha to Mount Meru, over Monduli Mountain to Lake Natron to view the flamingos (incredible to see from the air), past Lengai Volcano (and over the crater if weather permits), across Ngorongoro Crater and back to Arusha. 2 hours; US$2800.

· Arusha to Mount Meru, over Monduli Mountain to Lake Natron to view the flamingos, past Lengai Volcano, across Ngorongoro Crater via Lake Manyara and back to Arusha. 2​.5 hours; US$3500.

· Arusha to the base of Kilimanjaro, returning to Arusha via Mount Meru, over Monduli Mountain to Lake Natron to view the flamingos, past Lengai Volcano, across Ngorongoro Crater via Lake Manyara. 3 hours; US$4200.

Above rates are net, so all consultant and agent commission should be added on top.
