The accommodations we chose for you while on this safari are standard-class. You can select hotels in any class if you’d like an additional luxury.

There are many game parks to visit during this adventure, all offering a slightly different experience, so you have lots of choices when deciding on a 9-day top Tanzania safari itinerary. The Northern Circuit of Tanzania is one of Africa’s finest safari destinations. You’ll see a lot of wildlife at each game park you visit during your trip to the northern circuit of Tanzania. The Serengeti National Park, for example, is the country’s most famous park, and it is where millions of hoofed animals migrate each year during the wildebeest migration. The northern Tanzania game parks are more iconic because they offer an altogether wilder experience and a chance to see all the big five animals in one trip. Elephant lovers, for example, can see these creatures in all parks, but Tarangire National Park has a large population of these animals.
During this 9-day top Tanzania safari, visit all the magnificent parks in northern Tanzania. From the less famous but nonetheless beautiful Tarangire and Lake Manyara parks to the boundless plains of the renowned Serengeti and stunning Ngorongoro Crater, see the Serengeti migration, the natural world’s biggest show, while taking in the breathtaking views of the game-rich Ngorongoro Crater floor. One of the best safari destinations in Africa is Tanzania. Millions of animals with hooves move across Tanzania’s most famous park, the Serengeti National Park, as part of the yearly wildebeest migration.
