THE NORTHERN CIRCUITS
Visit the Big 5 areas of Tanzania on this 6-night safari. The itinerary starts with a Serengeti fly-in, and then continues to take in the wildlife of Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire. This Tanzanian safari starts off with a fly-in safari to the famous Serengeti - allowing more time for game viewing and less time spent on the road. Then continue by road to the game rich areas of Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire.

Day 1: Serengeti National Park In the afternoon you will fly straight from Arusha to the Serengeti, arriving in time for an afternoon game drive. Catching the Great Migration in the Serengeti is a spectacular sight, and if you time your safari right, you could witness the millions of wildebeest surging up the plains in search of fresh grazing land. You will stay at the Serengeti Sopa Lodge for 2 nights on a full board basis. Meals : HB Accommodation : Serengeti Sopa Lodge
