An 8-day northern Tanzania safari

This 8-day northern Tanzania safari covers the classic circuit: Tarangire's elephants and baobabs, three days in the Serengeti, and a full morning on the Ngorongoro Crater floor.

It works all year; in the dry season (June–October) Tarangire is at its best, and the Serengeti camp moves to wherever the herds are.

Highlights

  • Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro
  • All of the Big Five possible
  • Camps chosen for the month
  • Private guide and vehicle
