Overview

About this tour

Tanzania's northern circuit is world-famous for a reason. The Serengeti delivers limitless horizons and big cats; Ngorongoro Crater, a collapsed volcano, concentrates thousands of animals — including black rhino — on a single, spectacular floor.

AMSIR can arrange the Nairobi–Arusha transfer so you can combine this with a Kenyan safari.
