It doesn’t get more iconic than Tanzania’s Northern safari circuit. You’ll see everything the region is famous for, while also exploring some lesser-known areas. Starting with one night in the town of Arusha, where you’ll take time to settle into the sights and sounds of East African life. You travel on to Tarangire National Park, where you’ll enjoy the epic landscapes and marvel at the large elephant herds. Finally, we split your Serengeti experience into two parts. First, track the great wildebeest migration, where millions of animals travel through the plains in search of their next home. Second, we cross over to the opposite side of the Serengeti ecosystem to escape the crowds and search for an up-close big game experience.

All the things you’re dying to ask but haven’t

The Serengeti is an iconic, once-in-a-lifetime experience. The dramatic open plains and the sheer volume of migrating herds make this the unrivalled highlight of the trip. But, we know that North Tanzania has more to offer and have included some other destinations to ensure you see it all. Get ready for an amazing game viewing experience.

"Take in the incredible resident wildlife within the Ngorongoro Crater before following the great wildebeest migration in the Serengeti, two of the most iconic experiences on safari. These are just a couple of the safari activities on offer in Tanzania and then, of course, there is Zanzibar for rest and relaxing, the perfect end to any safari."

A few more tips...

 

Arusha

 

  • The gateway to the Northern safari circuit and a great spot to acclimatise to ‘Africa time’.
  • Try the wonderful local coffee, most lodges grow their own beans. 
  • Stock up on anything you have forgotten (especially bug spray and sunblock).

 

Tarangire National Park
 

  • Get ready for some of the largest herds of buffalo and elephant in East Africa.
  • Take it slow, get into the safari rhythm. 
  • Cover up your legs and arms on game drives to protect them from tsetse flies.

 
Southern Serengeti 
 

  • Enjoy prime viewing of the wildebeest migration from January to March.
  • Listen to the sounds of the bush from your luxury tented camp.
  • Ask your guide every question under the sun!

 
Northern Serengeti 
 

  • Witness the famous river crossings into the Masai Mara during July and August. 
  • Scan the rocky landscapes for a leopard.
