This well-balanced 6-day safari captures the heart of Tanzania’s Northern Circuit. Explore the baobab-dotted savannahs of Tarangire, the lush birdlife of Lake Manyara, the boundless wildlife of Serengeti, and the majestic Ngorongoro Crater. It’s the perfect blend of nature, wildlife, and landscape for first-time and returning safari-goers alike.

After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara National Park, a small yet biologically rich park. Its groundwater forest, soda lake, and open plains provide sanctuary for flamingos, monkeys, hippos, and more. After the game drive, continue to Karatu, a town nestled in the Ngorongoro Highlands.
Spend the afternoon spotting lions, cheetahs, elephants, and — if your timing is right — herds of wildebeest and zebras on the move.
