Where you can go
Six landscapes, one Tanzania.
The Northern Circuit, from the foothills of Mount Meru through the Rift Valley wall and out across the endless plains. Each destination is its own world, we’ll help you choose which order to meet them in.
A note on the route.
Most travellers fly into Arusha, then move west and south, Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and into the Serengeti. The exact order, pacing, and time at each is yours to shape. We don’t sell fixed packages; every itinerary we craft is built around what you came to see.
