6 Days Tanzania Northern Circuit
Join us on a life-changing six days safari in Tanzania to participate and observe Maasai and Chaga ancient wisdom, expand your consciousness for environmental healing and experience the beauty of Tanzania Northern Circuit Safari. We will take you to Tarangire National Park, which is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. Tarangire is spectacular in the dry season when many of the migratory wildlife species come back to the permanent waters of the Tarangire River. Go to Lake Manyara National Park, an impressive park and one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located wildlife areas, consisting of a massive but shallow soda lake at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment. The park’s varied habitat attracts a wide variety of animals, including one of Africa’s largest concentrations of elephants, Manyara’s famous tree-climbing lions, as well as large flocks of flamingos attracted by the algae in the lake. This package will also take you to Ngorongoro;. the best place in Tanzania to see black rhino as well as prides of lion that include the magnificent black-manned males. The Ngorongoro Crater, is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhino. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its huge population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard.
After the 3 beautiful days of exploring wildlife, you will visit Mto wa Mbu. Around 120 tribes reside in the village – it’s a cross-cultural melting pot with probably the most exotic mix of languages and customs found anywhere in Tanzania. You visit Maasai Boma to get detailed information about their life and culture before we drive you to Moshi for Materuni Waterfalls excursion. From the top of the water fall you will get a chance to see Mount Kilimanjaro. You will visit coffee and banana plantations, swim on the water fall, try local beer, have lunch in a traditional way, sing local songs and enjoy with traditional dances.
The best and most recommended landing time at Kilimanjaro International Airport is between 04h00 – 08h00.

Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport with your morning Flight, you will meet our Driver Guide and proceed to Tarangire National Park, arriving in time for a game drive with your Picnic lunch in the Park. The Park is in the northern Tanzania, just south of Lake Manyara. Located slightly off the main safari route, Tarangire National Park is a lovely, quiet park in Northern Tanzania. It is most famous for its elephant migration, birding and authentic safari atmosphere. The game viewing from July to October is exceptional, but for the remainder of the year the majority of game migrates out of the park, onto the floor of the Rift Valley and to the grazing grounds of the Masai steppe. This is a protected area of colossal baobabs, grassy plains and huge herds of elephant. The park is one of the most underrated of Tanzania’s attractions, receiving just a fraction of the Serengeti’s visitors, which means more space and exclusivity for those who do make it to Tarangire. As well as 300-strong herds of elephant, visitors will find big groups of buffalo and healthy populations of lion and leopard. During the dry season, Tarangire has the highest concentration of mammals in the country. There are wild dog and rare antelope such as gerenuk, plus more than 550 species of birds to spot throughout the year. Tarangire is the ideal park for those who want to explore beyond game drives. Walk through the savannah to study the smallest creatures and learn about tracking animals. Dinner and stay overnight at Kudu Lodge & Campsite on full board basis.
