Experience Tanzania's famous Northern Safari Circuit on a six-day private wildlife safari through Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater.

Begin in Tarangire, known for its elephant herds and ancient baobab trees, before continuing to Central Serengeti for three nights of exceptional wildlife viewing. Two full days of game drives provide opportunities to search for lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffaloes and other wildlife. Complete your adventure with a game drive inside Ngorongoro Crater, one of Tanzania's best locations for spotting the endangered black rhino.

Travel in a private 4×4 Land Cruiser with an experienced English-speaking safari guide, staying at selected mid-range lodges and tented camps.

Big Five Safari or Great Migration? The standard itinerary focuses on year-round wildlife viewing in Central Serengeti. Travellers interested in the wildebeest calving season in Ndutu or Mara River crossings in Northern Serengeti can request a customised seasonal itinerary, with accommodation and game-drive routes adjusted to their travel dates.

The standard Central Serengeti itinerary does not include a dedicated Mara River crossing excursion.

The best Serengeti safari experience depends on when you travel and which wildlife you hope to see. Our standard 6-day Tanzania safari explores Tarangire, Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, offering excellent year-round opportunities to encounter the Big Five and other African wildlife.

For travellers interested in the Great Migration, we can customise the route to include the Ndutu calving grounds or Northern Serengeti's Mara River region during the appropriate seasons.

Which Safari Should You Choose?

For year-round Big Five viewing: Choose our classic Central Serengeti itinerary, combining extensive game drives with Tarangire's elephant habitats and Ngorongoro Crater.

For wildebeest calving: Consider the Ndutu region between January and March, when large herds often gather on the southern plains.

For potential Mara River crossings: Choose a customised Northern Serengeti itinerary, generally between July and October, with accommodation positioned closer to the migration areas.

Important: The published standard safari price covers the Central Serengeti route. Ndutu and Northern Serengeti variations require separate quotations. The Great Migration is a natural wildlife movement, and specific sightings or river crossings cannot be guaranteed.

Your guide will plan the day's route around wildlife activity, weather conditions and the most promising areas accessible from your camp.

During suitable seasons, you may encounter migrating herds, grazing animals and predators following the movement of prey.

Return to your tented camp for dinner and overnight accommodation.

Important Migration Note: The standard itinerary is based in central Serengeti.

Tanzania's Northern Safari Circuit offers excellent wildlife-viewing opportunities throughout the year. However, the best time and location for a Great Migration safari depend on the seasonal movement of wildebeest and zebras across the Serengeti ecosystem.

Our standard six-day Big Five safari stays in Central Serengeti, an excellent year-round destination for resident wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants and buffaloes.

For travellers prioritising specific Great Migration experiences, we recommend the following seasonal adjustments:

• January–March: Ndutu and Southern Serengeti for calving-season wildlife, particularly around January and February.

• April–June: Central and Western Serengeti for seasonal herd movements, depending on rainfall.

• July–October: Northern Serengeti for opportunities to witness Mara River crossings.

• November–December: Central, Eastern or Southern Serengeti, depending on the returning herds and seasonal rainfall.

Our Safari Planning Recommendation

Choose the standard Central Serengeti itinerary for a well-rounded private Big Five safari at any time of year.

If witnessing wildebeest calving or Mara River crossings is your main priority, request a seasonally customised Great Migration itinerary. We will recommend suitable camp locations, travel routes and safari durations based on your departure dates.

Please note: River crossings and migration sightings are natural events and cannot be guaranteed. Northern Serengeti migration safaris require a revised itinerary and quotation.

Choose the safari that best matches your travel dates and wildlife interests. Our standard private safari focuses on year-round wildlife viewing in Central Serengeti, while seasonal Great Migration itineraries can be customised for specific wildlife movements.

Classic Big Five Safari pricing: From USD 1,750 per person for six adults sharing during selected 2027 low-season departures. Regular-season rates start from USD 2,050 per person, and peak-season rates from USD 2,450 per person.

Seasonal migration pricing: Ndutu calving and Northern Serengeti migration safaris require customised accommodation and routing. Prices are quoted separately according to travel dates, group size and camp availability.

Important: The standard safari includes three nights in Central Serengeti and does not automatically include visits to the Mara River crossing areas. Wildlife sightings and river crossings cannot be guaranteed.
