Frequently Asked Questions

How many days do I need for this trip?

We recommend at least 8 days to properly experience all three destinations without feeling rushed. This allows 3-4 days for safaris and 3-4 days in Zanzibar.

The most efficient option is flying from Kilimanjaro Airport to Zanzibar (about 1.5 hours). Alternative options include driving to Dar es Salaam and taking the ferry (longer but more budget-friendly).

Yes, with some adjustments. We recommend private safaris for families with young children and choosing family-friendly lodges and beach resorts.

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!
