A Tanzanian company, sharing the real Tanzania

This 6-day Tanzania lodge safari is designed for travellers who have a little more time and want a fuller northern circuit route.

The itinerary includes Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara National Park.

The Serengeti is famous for the Great Migration, but sightings depend on season and wildlife movement, so the guide plans around current conditions.
