This comprehensive circuit combines Tanzania's famous northern parks with the less-visited but equally spectacular southern circuit. You'll experience the full spectrum of Tanzanian landscapes and wildlife.

The northern portion covers the classic parks—Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. The southern circuit introduces the remote Mikumi and Selous reserves, where wildlife is often more relaxed and fewer tourists are present.

This itinerary provides a complete understanding of Tanzania's role as one of Africa's premier wildlife destinations, with diverse ecosystems supporting abundant wildlife populations.
