Northern Tanzania
Tanzania’s northern parks are some of Africa’s most famous destinations – and for good reason. The Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Mt Kilimanjaro are home to bucket list attractions such as ‘The Great Migration’, the ‘Ngorongoro Crater’ and the ‘Great Rift Valley’.
Furthermore, the lesser known parks also offer and incredible experience, Tarangire for example is known for its huge population of elephant & tree climbing lions, and Lake Manyara is home to over 400 species of birds.

Where to stay in Northern Tanzania
Kuro Tarangire
Kuro Tarangire is set in perhaps the best, yet most understated locations in Tanzania - Tarangire National Park. Amid a grove of Acacia trees on the banks of the Tarangire you will find the luxurious Kuro Tarangire.
Entamanu Ngorongoro
Spectacularly set on the wild side of the Ngorongoro Crater rim, this unique intimate camp is the only place where you can watch the sun rise over the iconic Ngorongoro Crater and the sun set over the vast Serengeti plains.
Lamai Serengeti
If you were to visit only one place in the Serengeti, it should be here! This small intimate tented camp is widely recognised as offering one of the best locations in the Serengeti.
Serengeti Safari Camp
The annual wildebeest migration is the largest mass movement of land mammals on the planet and this small intimate mobile tented camp closely shadows this event, ensuring that you are as close to the wildebeest as possible.
Explore, dream, discover and embrace ...
"Don't try to see beyond the horizon - often the richest experiences are those that you stumble upon because of where you are and who you're with. Explore, dream, discover and embrace each new experience as a life-changing memory."
