About this safari
This six-day Tanzania safari follows the Northern Circuit through Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It combines varied landscapes, changing habitats and guided wildlife experiences across northern Tanzania, with accommodation and meals provided as indicated. The journey begins in Tarangire National Park, where game drives introduce the safari to the scenery and wildlife of northern Tanzania. The itinerary includes time in Tarangire before continuing to Lake Manyara National Park. Lake Manyara offers a contrasting setting, including the chance to see spectacular flamingo flocks gathered along the lake’s shores. Its distinctive environment adds a different perspective to the safari route. The journey then reaches Serengeti National Park, one of Tanzania’s best-known safari destinations. Game drives provide opportunities to observe wildlife across the park’s changing landscapes. The Seronera Valley is highlighted for leopard viewing, particularly leopards in acacia trees, while breathtaking Serengeti sunsets provide a memorable experience during the stay. The itinerary also includes Olduvai Gorge, described as the legendary Cradle of Mankind, before continuing through the Ngorongoro area. Ngorongoro and Ngorongoro Crater form the final major destination, adding another distinctive setting to this Northern Circuit safari before the itinerary continues toward Arusha on day six. The package price is 2,100 USD per person. It includes park entrance fees, all game drives, a professional safari guide, accommodation as listed, meals as indicated and drinking water in the vehicle. Across six days, the route brings together Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Olduvai Gorge and Ngorongoro in one focused Tanzania safari.
