Tarangire Northern Circuit Grand
Tarangire, Manyara, the crater and the Serengeti in eight days
Overview
The complete northern circuit in eight unhurried days — the elephant herds and baobabs of Tarangire, the flamingos of Lake Manyara, a full day on the Ngorongoro Crater floor, and the big-cat plains of the Serengeti. This is the grand tour, staying throughout in the region's finest lodges with a private guide.
Each park adds its own signature: Tarangire's giant tuskers, Manyara's tree-climbing lions, the crater's Big Five density and the Serengeti's endless herds. Light-aircraft flights on the final legs keep the pace relaxed.
