Coming To Africa Adventures:-Adventures Starts Here!

Safari:-Itineraries

The Northern Circuit is world famous and rightly so as it incorporates the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Parks.

Serengeti National Park; The Serengeti is the mother of all parks. Despite its fame and a reputation to the contrary, the park remains remarkably remote and undisturbed once you get off the main safari routes. A good quality safari here can be an incomparable wildlife experience. Northern Tanzania the main area for safari in Tanzania, using the town of Arusha as a hub from which to visit the greatest game parks in Africa. Arusha and the smaller town of Moshi are used as bases from which to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.

Ngorongoro Highlands; The dramatic landscape of the Ngorongoro Highlands is the perfect complement to the flatness of the Serengeti. Populated by Maasai tribes, this area of grasslands, volcanoes and forests makes utterly superb hiking terrain ...

Lake Manyara National Park; This pretty little park, tucked into the base of the Rift Valley escarpment, is often used simply as a gentle introduction for safaris heading North, but Manyara can become a real live safari experience if you stop to camp here overnight ...

Tarangire National Park; Incorrectly considered the poor relation, Tarangire does have less spectacular landscape and does make you work harder for your game, but it also retains a real sense of wilderness reminiscent of more remote parks like Ruaha and Katavi. It can provide a real high during the dry season.
