Tanzania's northern circuit runs west from Arusha through Tarangire and Lake Manyara to the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. The parks are further apart than Kenya's, so most trips run four days or more, and the main decision is how much time to give the Serengeti.
Below are our Tanzania itineraries, plus our overland Kenya-Tanzania route. Our guide to the northern Tanzania safari circuit compares them, and the wildebeest migration guide helps you match your dates to the herds. Many travellers finish with a few days on Zanzibar.
