12 Days / 11 Nights
Northern circuit plus the river wilderness of Nyerere.
The north gives you scale and spectacle; the south gives you water, walking and solitude. Combining the two is the most rewarding way to spend twelve days in Tanzania.
We fly between the circuits rather than drive, so the transition costs you half a day rather than two.
This safari visits Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Nyerere National Park.
You are met on arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transferred to your lodge in Arusha. Your guide joins you for a full safari briefing, and the rest of the day is yours to rest and adjust after your flight.
We drive through Maasai grazing land to Tarangire National Park, a landscape of enormous baobabs and a permanent river that draws great herds of elephant. Game drives follow the river valley, with excellent chances of lion, giraffe and a remarkable variety of birds.

Lake Manyara sits beneath the Rift Valley escarpment, layering groundwater forest, open floodplain and a shallow soda lake. We look for tree-climbing lions, large baboon troops, hippo pools and — in the right season — flamingos along the shoreline.
The Serengeti opens out in front of you: short-grass plains, granite kopjes and horizon in every direction. We spend the day tracking predators and plains game with your guide, pausing for a picnic lunch in the shade before the light softens into a golden afternoon drive.

We descend more than 600 metres onto the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater, a contained world of grassland, forest and soda lake. The density of wildlife here is extraordinary — lion, elephant, buffalo, hippo and flamingo, with a genuine chance of black rhino.
In Nyerere National Park the Rufiji River shapes everything. Alongside game drives, we take to the water for a boat safari among hippo, crocodile and waterbirds, and where conditions allow, walk with an armed guide.
