Great Northern Circuit Experience
David R. · Canada · 13 May 2026

The 6 Days Northern Circuit Safari was a fantastic way to see Tanzania's highlights. We explored Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, and a bit of Serengeti. The wildlife viewing was excellent throughout, especially in the Crater. Our guide was very skilled at spotting animals. While everything was well-organized, we felt the pace could have been a little more relaxed in some areas. Still, a very worthwhile trip for seeing so much diverse wildlife. Looking forward to booking again for 2026!
