9 Days Northern Circuit Tanzania Safari

The 9 Days Northern Circuit Tanzania Safari sets the benchmark for Tanzania safaris, starting with Tarangire's enormous elephant herds and over 550 bird species, moving into the Ngorongoro highlands for crater game drives and a hike to Empakaai, then flying north to Sayari Camp in the Serengeti for three days alongside the Great Wildebeest Migration. World-class camps at every stop ensure the journey is as comfortable as it is extraordinary.

The time in each park is generous enough to go beyond the highlights. Walk the open plains with an expert guide in Tarangire. Sit at the Ngorongoro camp's whisky bar as the sun sets over the caldera rim. Watch the Mara River from your Sayari veranda between game drives. This is nine days without compromise.

For a shorter version of the same circuit, the 7 Days Tanzania Safari compresses the essentials and includes a balloon flight. To add Kilimanjaro to the adventure, the 14 Days Tanzania Safari and Kilimanjaro Adventure extends the trip with a full mountain ascent.
