TANZANIA WILDLIFE SAFARI
From the endless plains of the Serengeti and the lost world of Ngorongoro Crater to the giant baobabs of Tarangire.
The Ultimate East African Wildlife Circuit
Northern Tanzania is widely considered the crown jewel of African wildlife safaris. This world-renowned circuit encompasses three of Africa's most iconic wilderness sanctuaries: the boundless savannahs of Serengeti National Park, the breathtaking volcanic amphitheatre of Ngorongoro Crater, and the ancient baobab woodlands of Tarangire National Park.
Witness over 1.5 million wildebeest and zebras marching across the Serengeti in the Great Migration, search for endangered black rhinos on the lush floor of Ngorongoro Crater, and marvel at elephant herds congregating beneath thousand-year-old baobabs in Tarangire, all guided by elite professional safari naturalists.
Expedition Highlights
- The Great Migration & Mara River Crossings: Follow vast herds of wildebeest and zebras across Northern Serengeti / Kogatende where dramatic predator action unfolds.
- Ngorongoro Crater Floor Safari: Descend 600 metres into the intact volcanic caldera hosting Africa's densest concentration of large mammals.
- Tarangire Elephant Country: Encounter giant elephant families marching through landscapes filled with majestic ancient baobabs.
