Simply Safari

With your private guide and vehicle (as with all our tailor made safaris) you can enjoy the amazing wildlife of northern Tanzania, then end with a relaxing time on a Zanzibari beach if you would like to add this in.

This is just a suggested basic safari itinerary for Northern Tanzania - any number of nights in these parks in this or alternative accommodation can be requested to suit your needs.  Tarangire is at it's best in the dry season June - October when hundreds of elephant congregate in large numbers and there are a good number of predators here too.  This park contrasts well with the scenery of the Ngorongoro Crater which is just stunning.  Manyara completes the picture with a range of forest and lake habitats so a huge variety of species including great birdlife.

  • World famous Ngorogoro Crater
