Tanzania is one of the most popular Safari destinations in all of Africa. About ninety percent of travelers to Tanzania travel to the northern circuit, which includes the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. In addition to all of the wonderful Safaris we offer to the northern circuit, we want to make you aware of the amazing southern circuit in Tanzania. There is excellent Game Viewing in these areas as well. They include the Selous Game Reserve, Ruaha National Park, Mikumi National Park, Katavi National Park, and the Swahili Coast. We also offer Safaris to Mahale and Gombe National Parks. Many of our clients combine the northern and southern circuits!
