Great 5 day Safari tour
The best experience from Africa!
It was good since the beginning, Michael replied emails immediately with lots of advices regarding travel and getting to Arusha. After that, it was only better. We were picked up from the bus station and driven to the Clouds View Hotel, which was clean and tidy.
Our Safari group consisted of 6 people was selected great.
The Guide was very experienced and knowledgeable. He could spot animals from far away and gave us many informations about them and the national parks in general. He knew the answer to all our questions which was impressing. It was easy to notice that he was familiar with animal behavior and habits.
The food was surprisingly great, we've never expected to have so tasty and varied meals. The Chef was very skilled.
Our camps were nice with showers, tents were big and solid. Every part of our tour was organized very well with big involvement.
As a matter of fact, we had wonderful experience. The group and the staff, we had great social time as well, with lots of laugh during our Safari.
I will strongly recomend Northern Circuit Adventure.

Overall, great value
We went on a safari with Northern Circuit Adventures in July 2015. Overall, we had a fantastic time. We had just climbed Mt Kilimanjaro so we were looking for a cheaper safari and Northern Circuit Adventure provided the value for which we were looking. The tents, sleeping bags and sleeping pads were great, never having an issue with warmth. The safari car (Toyota Land Cruiser) was a beast; we had no issues whatsoever and gave us a surprisingly smooth ride (considering how rough the roads were). Our driver was impressive, giving us the most time in the parks that he could and he was always on his radio/phone finding where the rarer animals were (leopard, rhino, lions....). And our cook was fantastic too; can't believe how good the food was. Only reason I say 4 stars is that it is a cheaper option, so you are putting up your own tents, helping pack the car, etc. I had no problem with that (and expected it based on price) but if you do, might want to go with a more expensive, more inclusive option.

We went on a 4 day safari through the Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti national parks.
Overall we have a great time on our safari with Northern Circuit. The accommodations were great and the food was excellent. Our guide was knowledgeable of all the animals.

Amazing experience - highlight of our holiday
Michael, the owner of the company, answered to all my emails swiftly and professionally. He picked us up from the bus terminal and drove us to the clouds view hotel for the first night before the safari. The hotel was clean, the rooms nice, the food fresh and reasonably priced and the staff lovely and attentive. The safari itself exceeded all our expectations. Our driver Dennis was super lovely and we were actually a little sad when we had to say goodbye at the end of our safari. Our chef Abbe cooked the most delicious meals containing lots of fresh fruit and vegetables which we loved. They both made our trip perfect. There were only three of us in a small group safari, it alwas actually nearly a private safari for a very decent price considering the park entrance fees. We visited the serengeti where we drove all the way to the mara region to see the migration which was incredible. The camping site was tiny and clean it felt very exclusive. The tents and mattress/sleeping bags were all good too. Lastly we went to Ngorongoro which was busier but still very nice. We didn't realise how cold it would get so I'd recommend bringing some warm kit! If I go on safari again I would definitely go with Michael's company again and ask for Dennis and Abbe!
They really care!
Michael, the manager was really caring about everyones personal well-being. He gave really valuable information, advice and helpful.
He couldn't have been more professional and human at the same time.
Dennis, our driver and guide was full of information and interesting anecdotes. He and the cook were very easy to get along with and pleasant to talk to.

safari begins with a description of gorgeous places you are going to visit
A safari begins with a description of gorgeous places you are going to visit, the guide will tell you that you will see animals depending on what nature decide to show, nature has been generous with us.
The photos are all made by us, and nature was friendly and showed us wildlife.

Fantastic tour
We choosed this operator due to great rewiews and affordable prices, and they did not dissapoint us. We sent on the four day- five night safari and found this lenght perfect because we found all the animals and was happy when we were finished. We had a great tour with our guide Dennis and our chef and caretaker Rodrick. Dennis is a professional guide that knows so much about the animals, nature and masai-people, and we learned alot from him! He drove to the right places both with using his radio and not. Couldn't been more happy with our happy, friendly and professional guide :-) Rodrick made us all our meals, cleaned up, helped us with tents, packed the car - and was always happy! The food was great and always on time, Thank you! would absolutely recommend this tour operator it you like camping and living very close to the animals.

Great Adventure; Excellent Service; Fantastic Trip
We did five nights camping and six days, covering Tarangire, Serengeti and Lake Manyara national parks and Ngorongoro Crater. Service was great all around. Our guide, Fred, was personable and knowledgeable, very engaging and fun with great stories. Chef Bruno cooked simple and delicious meals and packed full picnic lunches. Everything went on schedule. This was a budget safari and it was a very good value for the money. We highly recommend Northern Circuit Adventure.

The perfect safari
We booked from France a 7 days safari in the north and 3 days in the Selous. The safari in the north was amazing, Denis (guide & driver) and Bruno (cook) are the best partners you can expect for a safari ! Denis knows perfectly his job and we saw so many animals, even leopards ! Bruno is an amazing cook, for sure you won't die of starvation in the savanna. These guys took great care of us, we had so much fun with them and they made our safari unforgettable. I 100% recommend to go for a safari with them, you won't regret it !
The organization from France was perfect because Mickie, the owner of Nothern Safari is very available and he answers all our questions through What'sapp. He also helps us to book our safari in the Selous, book our bus to go to Dar es Salam and our planes to Mafia Island and Zanzibar.
The only negative point was the safari in the Selous because the guide was very unfriendly and it was a bit expensive compare to what you do there. This safari wasn't done with Northern Safari, just book through this company.
To sum up: trustable and available owner, affordable safari, great guide and cook, amazing memories in the savanna :)
