Tanzania Safaris - Northern Circuit
North East
Tanzania (Northern Safari Circuit) is the richest
wildlife safari area in the East Africa or probably in
Africa. With varied geographical features like
Kilimanjaro and Meru mountains, Lake Victoria and the
Great Rift Valley which contains many large and
ecologically significant wildlife parks and reserves,
such as the famous Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National
Park, Lake Manyara and Tarangire, offers an array of
safari options, from mountain trekking and hiking, game
viewing safari in the national parks, walking excursions
and cultural/tribal tours to various villages. Famed
Olduvai Gorge has provided rich evidence of the area's
prehistory, including fossil remains of some of
humanity's earliest ancestors. Almost all safaris in the
Northern Parks involve going by road from Arusha with a
private vehicle and driver-guide around the various
parks, staying at a range of different lodges and
campsites.
The Northern Tanzania Safari Circuit can be visited year
round, though the best times to visit are either side of
the main peak seasons: late January, February, March,
late May and June to see the migration especially in
Serengeti and Ngorongoro; or in the dry season of
September, October, November and early December, since
animals are found near the water bodies, e.g. Tarangire
River, Mara River, Lake Manyara and the crater floor
lake.
The best time to climb Kilimanjaro or Meru is September
to early November during the dry season, when the sky is
usually clear from clouds. Avoid rain season which
starts March and ends in June, because the slopes are
more slippery. However, the climbing can also be
arranged for June and July
A good safari should involve walking or hiking: Hiking
in Ngorongoro Highlands (Olmoti Crater and Empakai
Crater) accompanied by Maasai Warriors; Lake Eyasi
walking with Hadza hunters and gatherers’, otherwise
long day trekking to Mount Makarot and Ol Doinyo Lengai;
all these can be accommodated in the same itinerary
Other safari interests in the north is balloon safari,
which is operated over and above Serengeti National Park
