A short, 5-day introduction to northern Tanzania — Tarangire's elephants and baobabs, the Hadzabe and Datoga near Lake Eyasi, a full day in the Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara's tree-climbing lions and flamingos — for travelers without the time for a full Serengeti circuit. A full-board safari run in your own Toyota 4x4 Land Cruiser with an English-speaking driver-guide throughout. This itinerary is built for shorter trips and does not include the Serengeti — ask Voyzo about our longer circuits if you'd like to add it.
