Tarangire, Serengeti & Zanzibar

The complete Northern Circuit — Tarangire's elephants, the Serengeti's plains, the Ngorongoro Crater — capped with a Zanzibar beach finale.

Experience Guide

This is the comprehensive bush-and-beach trip: the full Northern Circuit — Tarangire’s baobab-and-elephant country, the Ngorongoro Crater’s Big Five, and the endless Serengeti plains — followed by a Zanzibar beach finale. It’s the most complete way to experience northern Tanzania and the coast in one journey.

Each park adds a distinct chapter, from huge elephant herds to crater rhino to migrating wildebeest, before a short flight delivers you to the island for white sand and rest. We handle the full sequence so it flows seamlessly from first game drive to final sunset on the beach.

Is It Worth It?

The most complete northern itinerary — if you want to see everything the famous circuit offers before the beach, this is it. It needs 9–13 days to avoid feeling rushed; if your time is tighter, the Serengeti & Zanzibar or Ngorongoro & Zanzibar combinations cover the highlights in fewer days.
