Safaris in the Northern Part of Tanzania: The Northern Circuit
The Northern Circuit is the classic Tanzania safari everyone dreams of: the Great Migration, Ngorongoro Crater, and endless Serengeti plains. It’s busy for a reason — the wildlife drama here is unmatched.
6 Reasons to Choose the Northern Circuit
- The Great Migration & Big Five – Witness millions of wildebeest on the move and tick off all Big Five in a single trip.
- World-famous parks – Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara in one easy loop.
- Highest wildlife density in Africa – Game viewing is non-stop, especially in dry season.
- Iconic landscapes – Endless golden plains, the dramatic crater, and Kilimanjaro as your backdrop.
- Maasai culture – Visit villages and meet the red-robed warriors of the Rift Valley.
- Easy access – Fly in to Kilimanjaro Airport and start your safari the same day.
