What people love about Northern Circuit Tanzania Tours
- Serengeti Trail (8 destinations)
Serengeti and Ngorongoro are amazing! We were very lucky and saw a lot of big cats (lions everywhere!). Personally I would have done one more night to visit Ngorongoro because half a day there is too short time. The other stops (Kisii, Lake Victoria and Mio Wa Mbu) where not so interesting for me (I had more expectation for the lake, maybe), but are more “technical” stops for the long trip. Balloon safari in the Serengeti is very expensive but it’s something special to do.
- Serengeti Trail (8 destinations)
We were unable to do Serengeti game drives because use the the 2wd overland truck promptly got stuck for 3 hours by the campsite. Perhaps they should offer a game drive option in real 4x4 like the other companies? Locals said this happens regularly: (
I really love my Serengeti trip! The workers were awesome, Jacob, Evy, and Eric rocked it! They were always ready for anything. The food was always delicious and we never went hungry. People said they liked a certain thing and she made sure to include that. Jacob was helpful with setting up and always told us what to expect and was full of knowledge. Eric was an awesome driver.

"The tour is great! We have seen all Big Fives, including the most elusive leopard. The landscape is magnificent! The tour guide, chef, truck and gam drivers are all pleasant, responsible and helpful. There are a few things I wish I had been informed before the trip: 1. Visa for both Kenya and Tanzania; 2. Bring sleeping bags, towels and toilet paper (this is esswntially a camping trip); 3. Plenty of small bills of USD be cause it's the preferred currency from tourist. As long as you are well-prepared, this is a tour if life time!
