Wildlife on Tanzania's Northern Circuit

Big Skies, Bigger Wildlife

Five ways to see Tanzania's Northern Circuit, from a single overnight to a full week with a sunrise balloon safari.

Choosing Your Days

What Actually Separates the Five

Every package runs through some combination of the same four parks: Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara. The real choice is how much time you have and how much of the circuit you want to cover.

  • 01Short on time: the 2-day covers Tarangire and Ngorongoro, the Big 5 basics, in a single overnight.
  • 02Want Lake Manyara too: the 3-day adds Manyara's tree-climbing lions and flamingos to the same two parks.
  • 03Serengeti is the priority: the 4-day skips Tarangire and Manyara to spend more time in the Serengeti itself.
  • 04Want the full circuit: 6 or 7 days covers all four parks at an unhurried pace.
  • 05Want to see it from the air: the 7-day builds in a day for an optional sunrise balloon safari over the Serengeti.
