3 Days Tanzania Northern Circuit Safari to Serengeti Safari

This trip focuses primarily on the world famous Serengeti National Park while passing through the scenic Ngorongoro Highlands. You will enjoy multiple game drives across the vast plains to spot the resident wildlife and predators. Since it is a shorter trip, we prioritize the most active regions to ensure you get the best experience possible.

Depending on the time of year, two nights provide a good opportunity to witness the herds as they move across the savannah. Our guides track the movement of the wildebeest and zebras to position the vehicle in the most action-packed areas. While the park is massive, this timeframe allows for several intensive game drives during the peak hours of animal activity.

The Serengeti is home to lions, leopards, elephants, and buffaloes, which are frequently spotted on the open plains. While the rhino is more elusive in this specific park, your expert guide will use their tracking skills to find as many of these iconic animals as possible. The high density of predators in the central region makes sightings very likely within your three days.

We use customized 4x4 safari Land Cruisers that are specifically designed to handle the rugged terrain of the Northern Circuit. Each vehicle features a pop up roof for 360 degree viewing and photography during your game drives. You will also find charging ports and a small fridge with cold water to keep you comfortable throughout the day.

You will stay in either a luxury tented camp or a mid-range lodge located right inside the park boundaries. These accommodations offer a unique experience where you can hear the sounds of hyenas and lions while you sleep in safety. Each room or tent features private en-suite bathrooms and comfortable beds to ensure you are well-rested for the early morning drives.

Yes, we can easily alter the itinerary to include a cultural stop at a Maasai boma in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This allows you to learn about traditional customs and see the vibrant lifestyle of the local tribes. It is a fantastic way to add a human element to your wildlife focused journey without losing too much game viewing time.

A sunrise balloon safari is a popular extra activity that can be scheduled for your second morning in the park. You will float over the plains and watch the animals from a bird's eye view before enjoying a champagne breakfast in the bush. This experience can be seamlessly integrated into your two-night stay with advance booking.

We provide full board meals including breakfast, picnic lunches, and hot multi-course dinners at your accommodation. The menus feature a blend of local Tanzanian flavors and international dishes prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients. If you have any specific dietary requirements like vegan or gluten-free options, please let us know when you book.

You should bring light layers for the warm days and a heavier jacket for the cool mornings and evenings on the plains. Do not forget high quality binoculars, a camera with extra memory cards, and plenty of sun protection. Neutral colors like khaki or olive are best for blending into the natural environment and avoiding insects.

The total cost covers all mandatory park entry fees, transit permits, and government taxes for the duration of the tour. You will not have to worry about any hidden costs or making payments at the gates. Our team handles all the administrative details in advance to ensure a smooth transition between the different protected areas.
