Northern Tanzania is the birthplace of the classic African safari. Since the early 1900s, this region has attracted explorers and wildlife lovers with its vast plains, volcanic landscapes, and extraordinary biodiversity. Today, it forms the famous Northern Safari Circuit - a connected route through Tanzania’s most celebrated national parks and conservation areas.
At its core lies the Serengeti, where millions of wildebeest and zebras move in rhythm with the seasons during the Great Migration. Nearby, the Ngorongoro Crater offers a natural sanctuary for the Big Five within its steep, green walls. Parks like Tarangire and Lake Manyara add contrast with their elephant herds, baobab-studded hills, flamingo-filled lakes, and tree-climbing lions.
More than just wildlife, this region invites you to discover culture and adventure. Walk with Maasai guides, meet Hadzabe hunter-gatherers, or soar by balloon over endless savannahs. With iconic landscapes, rich ecosystems, and diverse experiences, Northern Tanzania delivers a safari that’s wild, personal, and unforgettable.
