Tanzania's Greatest Safari

Starting from either Moshi or Arusha, our Northern Tanzania circuit takes you through a breathtaking succession of wild landscapes — each one more spectacular than the last.

Our expertly guided journey traces the classic route: Lake Manyara's treetop lions, Tarangire's massive elephant herds, the highland coffee farms of Karatu, the otherworldly Ngorongoro Crater, and finally the endless golden Serengeti.
