Safari summary
Explore three of Tanzania’s most iconic northern circuit parks on this immersive 5-day midrange safari experience. From the elephant-studded landscapes of Tarangire National Park, to the birdlife-rich shores of Lake Manyara, and the breathtaking natural wonder of the Ngorongoro Crater, this journey offers the perfect balance of thrilling wildlife sightings, scenic splendor, and cultural discovery.
This Tanzania Safari Source tour is thoughtfully designed for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and wildlife enthusiasts looking for a comfortable yet authentic African safari. You'll travel in a private 4x4 safari vehicle with an expert driver-guide, stay in well-appointed midrange lodges and tented camps, and enjoy freshly prepared meals, scenic views, and personalized service throughout your adventure.
The safari’s route winds through diverse ecosystems—arid savannas, soda lakes, acacia woodlands, and volcanic highlands—offering a front-row seat to the rhythms of life in the wild. While the Great Migration is most famously associated with the Serengeti, this tour highlights the broader migratory patterns of wildebeest, zebra, and elephants as they traverse northern Tanzania’s dynamic landscapes. Your guide will track wildlife movements to maximize your chances of seeing these spectacular migrations in action.
Whether you’re captivated by towering baobab trees, mesmerized by the gaze of a lioness, or enchanted by a Maasai village’s cultural heartbeat, this journey promises lasting memories and genuine connections with Tanzania’s wild spirit.
