This is a 4-day group tour that takes you around the famous northern circuit parks. Serengeti National Park is the largest and most famous, as over a million wildebeest migrate yearly alongside over 250,000 zebras. The Ngorongoro Crater is a highlight, with its beautiful landscapes, surreal view of the crater, and ease of seeing animals on the crater floor. Tarangire National Park, compared to Serengeti, is a much small park famous for the large number of elephants roaming the area.

"Our guide Emmanuel was incredible — he spotted a leopard and two lion cubs that three other vehicles completely missed. The most magical experience of our lives."
"The private setup meant we could spend 45 minutes with a cheetah and cubs without feeling rushed. The lodges were far beyond what we expected."
"As first-time safari travelers, we were nervous. From the moment we arrived, Serengeti African Tours took care of everything. The Ngorongoro Crater literally took our breath away."
"Booked through SafariBookings and couldn't be happier. Every detail was handled perfectly. Guide Abouh is extraordinary — his knowledge of wildlife is encyclopaedic."
