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!

Great Value Group Joining Safari Experience

We opted for the 3 Days Tanzania Group Joining Safari and had a fantastic time. It was a wonderful way to meet other travelers and share the incredible experience. Our guide was excellent, making sure everyone in the group got great views of the wildlife. We saw so much, from giraffes gracefully browsing to hippos cooling off. The itinerary packed a lot in without feeling rushed. While it's a group tour, there was still ample personal space during game drives. Excellent value for money and a fun social dynamic. We’d do it again for a 2026 adventure.
