Journey overview

Tarangire, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro in a private safari

This five-day private safari offers a balanced introduction to the Northern Circuit: the baobab-lined scenery and elephants of Tarangire, the open grasslands of the Serengeti and a guided morning on the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater.

Your private vehicle and guide allow flexible photographic stops, and the pace of every day is shaped around wildlife activity and your interests.

Every Dastel Tour and Safaris journey is private and tailor-made. The lodges and hotels named in the itinerary are proposed and confirmed with your quotation, which is priced for your travel dates and group size.
