Northern Itineraries
The Northern Circuit is the most frequented by tourist due to two reasons; most of the destinations are fairly close to each other and, secondly, names such as Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and Kilimanjaro are all in this Northern Circuit. Due to the fact that all the parks, towns and attractions are within easy reach of one another, one can tour this only a couple of hours in-between the destinations. Below you will find examples of safari itineraries including national parks of the Northern Circuit.
