Northern Tanzania

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Northern Tanzania is one of Africa's most iconic safari destinations, home to the Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Mount Kilimanjaro — the continent's highest peak. The region is world-famous for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebra move across the Serengeti plains in a dramatic annual cycle. Beyond wildlife, travellers come to trek Kilimanjaro, explore the culturally rich Maasai lands, and visit the archaeological site of Olduvai Gorge. It's a bucket-list destination that draws both adventure seekers and wildlife enthusiasts from around the globe.

4 Days Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater — Self-Launched Safari

A self-launched version of Lappet Faced Safaris' 4-day Northern Circuit safari, covering Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Instead of booking a private guided package, you join a small-group scheduled safari (or build your own using a shared 4WD with other travellers) departing Arusha — the cheapest realistic route to the same three parks. Costs are based on joining a budget camping group safari, which is how most solo backpackers do this circuit. Figures are approximate (2025 rates) and assume you share a vehicle and tent.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Northern Tanzania yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
