Tanzania’s Northern Circuit, Closer to the Wild

This private four-day safari brings together three of northern Tanzania’s most celebrated wildlife destinations while keeping the journey adventurous and accessible.

Begin among the baobabs and elephant herds of Tarangire National Park, before travelling into the vast Serengeti, where your night is spent camping inside the park. Continue towards the Ngorongoro highlands for another night beneath the African sky on the crater rim, before descending into the extraordinary Ngorongoro Crater for your final game drive.

With a private 4×4 and professional guide throughout, this journey offers the freedom of a private safari with the atmosphere and simplicity of camping in some of Tanzania’s most remarkable wilderness areas.

Day by day

A concise itinerary with enough detail to inspire, and enough flexibility to make it entirely your own.

 

DAY ONE · TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

Among Elephants & Baobabs

Depart your Arusha hotel at approximately 8:30 am with a picnic lunch and travel towards Tarangire National Park for a full-day game drive.

The landscape is unmistakably Tarangire, with immense baobab trees rising above the savannah and the Tarangire River creating an important lifeline for wildlife. The park is particularly celebrated for its elephant herds, while lions, giraffes, buffalo, zebras, lesser kudu, oryx and eland are among the species you may encounter.

After your game drive, leave the park and continue to your lodge for dinner and your first overnight stay.

DAY TWO · SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

Into the Endless Plains

After breakfast, set out towards Serengeti National Park as the landscape gradually opens into the immense plains for which the park is famous.

Spend the afternoon exploring the Serengeti by 4×4, searching for lions resting in the shade, cheetahs scanning the grasslands and great herds of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles moving across the plains. A picnic lunch is enjoyed during the day’s game drive, allowing you to make the most of your time in the wilderness.

As evening arrives, settle into your campsite inside Central Serengeti for dinner and a night beneath the African sky.

DAY THREE · SERENGETI TO NGORONGORO

One Last Morning on the Plains

Wake in Central Serengeti and begin the morning with another game drive, giving you a final opportunity to explore the plains and search for wildlife before continuing south.

Later, leave the Serengeti with a picnic lunch and travel towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The scenery changes dramatically as the open plains give way to the cooler volcanic highlands surrounding the crater.

Your day ends at Ngorongoro Simba Campsite A, positioned on the crater rim, where you enjoy dinner and prepare for the following morning’s descent.

DAY FOUR · NGORONGORO CRATER

Into Africa’s Natural Amphitheatre

After breakfast, descend into the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater for approximately five hours of game viewing.

Permanent water and rich grazing support an extraordinary concentration of wildlife across the crater floor. Search for wildebeest, zebras, buffalo, hippos, elephants, lions, hyenas and the endangered black rhino as your guide navigates between grasslands, wetlands and woodland.

Enjoy a picnic lunch inside the crater before ascending into the highlands later in the afternoon and beginning the drive back to Arusha, where your safari comes to an end.
