Overview
This is the trip most people picture when they think of Tanzania. Five days across the Northern Circuit's three headline parks — Tarangire's baobab country, the endless Serengeti plains, and the crater floor at Ngorongoro. We plan the route around the latest migration reports rather than a fixed loop, so where you spend your longest days depends on where the herds actually are the week you travel. Small group, one vehicle, one guide for the whole trip.
Safari highlights
Detailed itinerary
Land in Arusha and head straight to Tarangire for an afternoon game drive among its baobabs and elephant herds.
Morning drive south, crossing into the Serengeti's endless plains by afternoon.
A full day tracking wildlife on the central plains, routed to wherever the migration currently is.
Descend into the crater at sunrise for the densest wildlife concentration in Africa.
Final morning drive, then transfer back to Arusha or the airport.
Where you'll stay
Permanent tented camp with en-suite bathrooms, moved seasonally to stay close to the herds.
