TOUR INTRODUCTION

Tanzania - 23 4 - best african safari tour
Eight days, five locations – easily enough time in which to capture the very best experiences in Tanzania’s Northern Circuit. Our trip takes you to the best, most stunning places our country can offer, and also gives you welcome exposure to Tanzania’s rich ‘human culture.’ From Arusha, our first port-of-call will be huge, diverse Tarangire National Park, to be followed by a visit to see the beautiful natural wonder of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with its incomparable crater. From there, we head to the endless plains of the magnificent Serengeti, where we are lucky enough to have extended time to enjoy this incredible park, before continuing to Lake Eyasi where you will meet some of our diverse, colorful tribes and marvel at their fascinating lifestyles. Last, but not least, we will finish our adventure with an exciting, unforgettable walking safari in the beautiful surroundings of Lake Manyara National Park, before returning you safely to the airport.

Tour Overview

Tanzania - 17 6 - best african safari tour
Our safaris aim to provide life-changing experiences and this trip is certainly no exception. Not only will you meet the incredible animals and marvel at the diversity of Tarangire, with its herds of elephant and huge baobab trees, but you will marvel at the crater of Ngorongoro (perhaps sighting a black rhino?), before being awestruck by the endless plains of Serengeti and meeting some of Tanzania’s tribes. This is a chance to learn about ways of living that might be completely different to anything you have ever seen before.

Your driver-guide will take you safely on this journey full of adventure. No-one knows the wildlife routines better, no-one can give you a better insight into our country’s human culture. Extraordinary experiences await adventurous travellers with open minds.

They are best suited for those who have a sense of adventure and who are prepared to participate in such activity. Any walking or canoeing on these trips will be at an easy/moderate level.
