Trip Overview

The Northern Circuit, Done Right

This six day safari is our most popular way to see the best of northern Tanzania without rushing. You travel in a private 4x4 with an open roof and your own driver guide, so every game drive moves at your pace.

Start among the baobab trees and elephant families of Tarangire, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater to look for black rhino, then spend two days in the Serengeti, home to large lion prides, leopards and, in season, the Great Migration.
