Our 8 Days Northern Tanzania Safari specifically includes four national parks of the Northern Circuit: Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park, Lake Manyara National Park and Tarangire National Park.

This specific African safari and travel itinerary has been designed for visitors who want to see the 4 most important national parks in the North! This trip is also ideal for photographers who like to see a lot of wildlife, including the big 5.

This unforgettable African safari will take you to the Lake Manyara National Park, one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located wildlife areas, consisting of a shallow but huge soda lake, located at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment. This park is famous for it’s tree-climbing lions.

The next day we drive to Tarangire National Park, which features some of the greatest concentration of game in Tanzania – second only to the Ngorongoro Crater – but less crowded and unspoiled – possessing a wild and unkempt beauty.

After that, we go to the Ngorongoro Crater and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, featuring one of the highest concentrations of game and arguably the densest population of predators and carnivores in Africa.
