Northern Tanzania Safaris

The Northern Tanzania Safari Circuit — Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Lake Manyara — is where Tanzania's safari reputation was built and where it is most thoroughly earned. The four parks lie within a 200 km radius of Arusha and form the most complete Big Five wildlife circuit in East Africa: the world's largest lion population in the Serengeti, black rhinoceros and dense predator packs in the Ngorongoro Crater, the largest elephant herds in the north at Tarangire, and tree-climbing lions at Lake Manyara.

All our northern Tanzania safari packages depart from Arusha and return to Arusha, use private 4x4 vehicles with pop-up roofs and operate year-round. Browse the itineraries below and filter by duration — or scroll down for a full breakdown of each park, the seasonal calendar and what to expect.
