Tour Overview
This trip combines a safari and a vacation at the spice island of Zanzibar to create a unique experience for the traveler who appreciates luxury and comfort. This trip will be to the best spots on the Northern Circuit. You will start the trip from the endlessly fascinating Ngorongoro Crater.

For the safari beginning in the Serengeti, you will spend the next two nights there. This safari is one of the most famous and is the best place to see a vibrant mix of extraordinary wildlife.

You will be driven through the blockaded bush on a Land Cruiser for the best flight views. Every part of this deliberate journey is designed for enjoyment and comfort.

There is also the option of a unique hot air balloon ride safari for sunrise. There is a hot lunch served at your camp, after which you have a relaxing period, all before an afternoon game drive.
