Four Iconic Ecosystems. Nine Days. One Complete Northern Tanzania Safari.

Tanzania changes dramatically from one ecosystem to the next.

On this 9-day Northern Tanzania safari, the journey moves from the baobab landscapes and elephant herds of Tarangire, through the forest and lake environments of Lake Manyara, into the predator-rich plains of the Serengeti, before ending with a full-day safari inside the wildlife-dense Ngorongoro Crater.

Rather than focusing on one destination, this itinerary is designed around variety.

You experience different landscapes, wildlife habitats and photographic environments throughout the journey, while the additional days allow for a more comfortable safari pace and extended game viewing.
