Safari summary
The Northern Tanzania Safari is a true classic, taking you across the country’s most celebrated landscapes and wildlife havens. From the elephant herds and baobab valleys of Tarangire to the tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara, every stop brings new surprises. Then, lose yourself in the vast Serengeti, where golden plains stretch to the horizon and big cats rule the savannah, before ending in the dramatic Ngorongoro Crater, a natural wonder brimming with life.
Your days will be filled with guided game drives led by expert safari guides, while your evenings are spent in handpicked lodges and tented camps that balance comfort with an authentic safari atmosphere. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to enjoy optional experiences—like a Maasai village visit, treetop walk, sundowners, or even a hot-air balloon ride drifting above the Serengeti at sunrise.
