Tanzania's Northern Circuit Safari

Posted on Fri November 22, 2024 in Trip Reports.

In November this year we were back in Tanzania, on the famous 'Northern Circuit', comprising Arusha, Tarangire National Park, Nogorongoro Crater, Ndutu and the Serengeti.

And it sure lived up to expectations! Easily the most impressive safari destination we visit, in terms of sheer scale and numbers of animals. Seeing huge numbers of animals in giant landscapes is an incredible experience. Add in some great birding 'on the side', wonderful accommodation (as in very comfortable, but not 'over the top' in terms of unnecessary luxury) and fantastic people, and you have what is arguably one of the top safaris we offer...

Tanzania's Southern Circuit Safari

Posted on Fri November 10, 2023 in Trip Reports.

We have recently returned from a visit to two of Tanzania's biggest National Parks - Nyerere and Ruaha National Parks. These are two of the stops on on our Southern Circuit Safari ( the other park we visit on the full tour is Katavi, in remote western Tanzania).

Tanzania's Southern Circuit offers a fantastic add-on to a Northern Circuit Safari, or can be done as a stand-alone safari, with Zanzibar as an obvious add-on.

Safari Trip Report: Tanzania's Northern Circuit.

Posted by Leon on Wed January 4, 2023 in Trip Reports.

In November we hosted seven clients on our inaugural 'Tanzania's Northern Circuit' Safari. It was an untested itinerary, set up during the dark days of the global lockdown, so it was definitely a pioneering tour for us, but it's really hard to go horribly wrong when dealing with one of Africa's top wildlife destinations, right?

And as it turned out, it was a roaring success. The itinerary was solid (though we are changing it slightly for 2023 and beyond to make it even better), our local guides Wilfred and Arnold were both excellent in every way, the two stretched Land-Cruiser safari vehicles were also excellent, the accommodations proved to be wonderful, and of course the game viewing was just incredible. Indeed, it was one of the highlights of 2022, and we're looking forward to returning again soon!
