Northern Safari Circuit

For the safarigoer, Tanzania is divided into two distinct areas, or ‘circuits’. The Northern Circuit is the better known and most-visited of the two, consisting of the area surrounding Arusha. The Northern Circuit’s main draw is the massive Serengeti ecosystem, encompassing the Ngorongoro Crater Highlands, which is one of the biggest remaining animal migration routes in the world. Also on the northern safari circuit are the lesser-known Tarangire, Arusha and Lake Manyara National Parks. Here’s where you’ll find the Africa you imagined as a child - vast, stretching plains of undulating yellow grass, broken only by flat-topped acacia trees and the odd strolling giraffe, all set beneath the dome of a perfect blue sky.
