Destination

Tanzania

Vast plains, ancient craters and the rhythm of migration.

Northern Tanzania's classic circuit links Tarangire's baobab country, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti's endless plains. Safaris usually begin in Arusha, and can be combined with Kenya.

Why Tanzania

Planning a Tanzania safari

The northern circuit works well as a road safari of five days or more, with time on the crater floor and several nights on the Serengeti following the season's grazing.

  • Serengeti plains and year-round migration movement
  • A game drive on the Ngorongoro Crater floor
  • Dry-season elephant herds in Tarangire
