The Experience

7 Day Tanzania Safari Tour

Seven days gives you room to properly explore the Northern Circuit rather than rush it. Beyond the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, this itinerary adds Lake Manyara's tree-climbing lions and splits your Serengeti time between the northern river corridors and the central Seronera Valley, so you see far more of the ecosystem's variety than a shorter trip allows.
