Learn more about Tarangire National Park and its famous baobab trees; discover the scenic Manyara National Park with its tree-climbing lions; let yourself be overwhelmed by the seemingly endless grass plains of Serengeti; and visit the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater with its high concentration of game. This safari covers all the major parks of Northern Tanzania and can be done all year around. It is ideal for nature enthusiasts, couples, families and friends traveling together.
