Your Tanzania safari at a glance
This is the full northern circuit, done properly: Tarangire's elephants, the tree-climbing lions and soda lake of Manyara, two unhurried days in the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater to finish. Seven days gives each park enough time to deliver its own highlight, rather than rushing through on a single pass-through day.
