Tanzania & Zanzibar
The Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater and the spice island: East Africa's finest bush-and-beach journey.
Why travel here
Tanzania holds the larger share of the Serengeti ecosystem, where the Great Migration spends around ten months of every year. The classic Northern Circuit links Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, and a short flight carries you on to Zanzibar's beaches, Stone Town and private islands.
What you will experience
- Serengeti National Park: calving at Ndutu (January to March) and Mara River crossings in the north (July to October).
- Ngorongoro Crater: the world's largest intact caldera and one of East Africa's best chances of black rhino.
- Tarangire: ancient baobabs and some of East Africa's largest elephant herds.
- Lake Manyara: tree-climbing lions, flamingos and a forest canopy walkway.
- Nyerere & Ruaha: remote southern parks with boat and walking safaris.
- Zanzibar: UNESCO-listed Stone Town, spice farms, dhow sailing and Mnemba Atoll snorkelling.
