8 Days / 7 NightsFrom 2 passengers

Overview

Kaskazini — Swahili for "north" — is the definitive northern Tanzania circuit. Eight days moving through four of Africa's most celebrated ecosystems: the baobab-lined elephant corridors of Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater with the world's densest Big Five habitat, three full days across the Central Serengeti, and a final afternoon safari at Lake Manyara with its famed tree-climbing lions. Every transfer is a game drive. Every overnight brings you closer to the wild.
