Overview

Northern Circuit Safari

The three parks that made northern Tanzania famous, fitted into four days without feeling rushed. Tarangire for elephants and baobabs, the Serengeti for its plains and predators, the Ngorongoro Crater for the sheer concentration of animals on its floor.

A private vehicle and guide travel with you throughout. The Great Migration moves with the seasons, so rather than promising a river crossing we choose the part of the Serengeti that suits your dates and where the herds actually are.
