Discover Tanzania’s Iconic Wildlife on a 2-Day Northern Circuit Safari
Experience the thrill of Tanzania’s most famous wildlife destinations on this action-packed 2-day safari to Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. Perfect for travelers with limited time, this tour offers an incredible opportunity to witness the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros—in their natural habitats, along with countless other fascinating species.
Begin your journey in the Serengeti, where the vast open plains stretch to the horizon and wildlife roams freely. Here, you can observe lions lounging in the sun, cheetahs stealthily stalking their prey, and elephants meandering across the savannah. Depending on the season, you may also witness the spectacular wildebeest migration, one of the world’s greatest wildlife events.
Next, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a breathtaking volcanic caldera teeming with wildlife. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a natural wonder, home to a dense population of animals. Enjoy a full-day game drive, spotting the Big Five and marvel at how the Maasai people coexist harmoniously with the wildlife, grazing their cattle alongside zebras and wildebeest without disturbing the delicate ecosystem.
After breakfast, depart with your lunch box towards Serengeti National Park, you will arrive at the Naabi hills gate and after formalities you will enter Serengeti and probably the greatest park on earth. This park, undoubtedly the most famous in the world, covers over 14 000 sq. km and offers amongst many other things the biggest concentration of big cats in the world (Cheetahs, Lions, Leopards, Wild cats…). Many different landscapes can be found in the Serengeti: Savannah with the big plains to the south, hills & woods to the west, the kopjes area to the east, and bush land to the north. Important rivers (Seronera, Banagi, Grumeti ) also run through the park. Many different species of mammals can be spotted during game drives; elephant, buffalo, giraffes, antelope’s… hippos and crocodile can also be found. Diner and overnight at Serengeti Heritage Tented Camp
Very early Morning and evening game drives through the Serengeti plains. These vast, seemingly unending plains are inhabited during the migration by enormous herds of wildebeest and zebra.
As far as the eye can see, you’ll spot thousands upon thousands of animals in herds; wildebeests and zebras migrating together, tall and graceful giraffes, jumping antelopes and gazelles, the powerful African elephant and the most respected group of animals: the predators.
You will have the chance to spot lean cheetahs and shy leopards, foraging hyenas, and last but not least, the king himself; the lion. Dinner and overnight at Serengeti Heritage Tented Camp

The Crater is famous for Africa’s best game viewing as there is an ever-present abundance of wildlife due to the permanent water supply on the crater floor. You will descend 610 metres into the Crater where your safari truly begins.
