Classic Tanzania Northern Circuit Safari
Overview
This trip was designed for a couple with a focus on good quality accommodations and superb wildlife viewing opportunities. They got to experience 3 of Tanzania’s famous game viewing areas with high concentrations of lion and elephants in Tarangire National Park, full day game drives in Ngorongoro Crater and moving cultural experiences in the Serengeti. The grand finale was a 4-night stay at a beach resort in Zanzibar – making this adventure an unforgettable blend of savannah with pristine white sandy beaches.
With this trip taking place during peak season in some of the most visited wildlife viewing areas in the world, this was a real steal in terms of value. We were able to send them to all the iconic areas of Tanzania with a good amount of time for each location at a very reasonable expense.
