In our pursuit of lions, leopards, elephants, rhinoceros, hippos, and Cape buffalos, you visit all four Northern circuit national parks, including the majestic Serengeti, where you will be able to witness your very own Serengeti sunrise. Along the way, you will spot hyenas, cheetahs, giraffes, enormous herds of wildebeests, zebras, and much more.
Life on Safari
Drive through the “Land of Giants” as you head to Tarangire National Park, famous for its vast elephant herds and iconic baobab trees.
You will travel across endless golden savannah landscapes that stretch along the Tarangire River. Upon arrival, enjoy a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch at a scenic riverside site. This area attracts large concentrations of wildlife, especially during the dry season.
While enjoying your lunch, be mindful of playful monkeys who are known to snatch unattended food.
In the late afternoon, continue with game viewing before heading to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.

"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."
