Ngorongoro & Serengeti Circuit

Overview

From the misty rim of the Ngorongoro Crater to the boundless plains of the Central Serengeti, this six-day journey traces the heart of Tanzania's northern wilderness. Each morning begins with the promise of extraordinary wildlife; each evening returns you to lodge comfort that matches the grandeur outside. We handle every detail so your only task is to look out the window.
