Safari · Northern Circuit
Two Icons in Four Days
This is the shortest itinerary that still does justice to Tanzania’s two greatest wildlife areas. You descend into the Ngorongoro Crater on day two, cross the Ndutu plains into the Serengeti the same afternoon, and give the plains a full uninterrupted day before flying out.
Flying from Seronera back to Arusha on the last day saves a long drive and hands you a low-level flight over the Serengeti and the Rift Valley escarpment as a parting gift.
- Full morning game drive on the Ngorongoro Crater floor
- A complete day on the Serengeti plains
- Nights at a boutique lodge and an authentic tented camp
- Scenic flight from Seronera Airstrip back to Arusha
