Very well organized with educated and experienced guide
Everything was fine, even better than we expected. Michael is very nice & friendly and you can agree with him everything according to your needs. Driver is also educated guide and we have great time with him.
Great Safari, awesome team!
Our entire Safari with Northern Circuit was a blast! We had a great guide a great chef and the itinerary was perfectly chosen. Even after the Safari ended Mike, the owner of Northern circuit, showed himself really helpful and organized our transfer to Lushoto with a local bus company.

Excellent tour!
From start to finish we had absolutely no problems with Northern Circuit. Michael was very helpful and informative during the booking process, and was incredibly friendly when we met him after our airport pickup. Everything was on time and on schedule, there were no hiccups at all. Abdul was an excellent driver and very friendly and informative. Musa, our cook, was also very friendly and kept everyone on tour happy. Vegetarians were well taken care of. During the tour we were well informed about all of the animals and the eco-system. I would recommend this company to anyone.

Simply Awesome
I just came back from my honeymoon. I went to a safari with them from 28/11 to 3/12, a 5 day 4 nights safari. I paid an advance from my country by their web page & the rest was due the day i arrived to arusha, i enjoyed the safari so so much, we were picked up from Kilimajaro airport to the hotel for the night stay. Mike the ''Boss'' is so gentle & helpful, he came to greet me the first day we arrived to arusha at the hotel we chated a little telling him about my trip to zanzibar than gave me some tips about the safari.
Next morning we started our tour he came to wish us a good trip & introduce us to the Guide "Elias" -Great gide with an eye of an eagle, very familiar, funny & has alot of information that he shared it with us- & The cook "Robert". He is a great cooker They respected that my wife was vegetarian & he always makes something vegi for her.
The safari was well organized, the food was great, the company is awesome. We enjoyed every second in the trip a big thanks to ELIAS ''the guide'' & Big Big thanks to Mike ''the boss'' a great Man.

Wonderful Tanzanian Safari
We found Northern Circuit Adventure online and booked a 3-day Safari. From the beginning we were impressed by professionalism and organizational skills of the Manager Michael who was replying to plenty of our emails and questions consistently and without delays. By the time we arrived to Kilimanjaro Airport the driver was already waiting for us and we felt safe and comfortable on the way to the hotel. Throughout our whole adventure we were amazed by punctuality of Northern Circuit Adventure staff. Our guide and driver Dennis was extremely polite, punctual, with good manners and had a great knowledge of the wild life of Tanzania. We had our own chief Sweetbart who was treating us with yummy food and who amazed us by quickly adjusting to our vegetarian diet which we forgot to inform them about in advance.
Thanks to Northern Circuit Adventure we had amazing time in Tanzania we got unforgettable impressions and will never forget our adventure. Generally the whole experience not only met but exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend this company to all travelers going to Tanzania.

Amazing Safari Experience
We booked a 4 day Safari (Lake Manyara, Serengeti & Ngorongoro) with Northern Circuit Adventure in November 2014. Everything was well organized and planned . We arrived in Kilimanjaro and a taxi driver was waiting for us at the airport. He took us straight to the hotel (Clouds View hotel) which had nice hot showers and good food at a very reasonable price ($40 per night for two persons on B&B). Our guide was a very responsible person and English speaking named Dennis. He knew everything about the natural reserve parks, Animals & Tanzanian Culture. Also the chef named Musa always took care of us when it comes to food. The Manager from Northern Circuit named Michael is very helpful and a great guy. I strongly recommend Northern Circuit Adventure for Safari in Tanzania.

excellent
everything was well planned. guide ( dennis) was amazing; well informed and uptodate with information. the price was the cheapest on the market. our first stay was in clouds view hotel, and it was the first warm shower in weeks, everything clean. best hotel in tanzania. we also ate there on our first night before safari and the food was the freashest we ever taste. the food in safari was also very good and fresh. no diarrhoea in weeks, really tastey and warm. this was the highlight of our tanzanian holiday. the person we dealt with Micheal nDALLO was amazing and really helpful with sites to visit and everything. definately not disapointing

2-Day Safari (Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro)
We traveled with Children and we only wanted a short Safari trip. We contacted many tour operators but finally we decided to go for Northern Circuit and we are glad we did. Northern Circuit arranged pick up at the airport, hotel (before, during and after the Safari) and arranged transport back to the airport for further adventures. Our plane was delayed with 10 hours. Instead of landing on the evening we landed early in the morning. Michael and his driver slept in the bus at the airport and when we arrived they stood outside the airport waiting for us. The guides were very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk with. We had two great days in Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro. The last night Michael came to our hotel and socialized with us and in the morning he came and sad good bye before we left. I strongly recommend Northern Circuit as your tour operator for your Safari.

Excellent Tour, great safari guide, awful hotel in Arusha
We booked a 3 day Safari with Northern Circuit in November 2014.
The Safari and all the Transfers were well organized. We had the best guide ever (Denis). He spotted all animals and knew a lot to tell about the National Parks, animal behavior and also Tanzanian culture. Also the Manager from Northern Circuit (Michael) is great.
Unfortunately they had booked for us an overpriced, but low quality hotel in Arusha. It is called cloudsview hotel (http://cloudsviewhotel.com/). It is located far from the center at a noisy street. Although everything was clean and the staff friendly, the service quality is bad, the breakfast not worth the $90 per night ad the WiFi does not work (because of internal network login issues). In the end they also wanted to charge items, which they said we had consumed, but which were actually part of the breakfast. Dreadful place!
We definitely recommend Northern Circuit, but ask for a different hotel!
Reply from Northern Circuit Adventure
Posted on Nov 17, 2014Dear Sir/Madam,
Thanks for the updates regarding your safari review which you have done with Northern Circuit Adventure and we are very happy to hear that you have enjoyed our service excluded the Hotel accommodation at the Clouds View Lodge for the nights you have stayed before and after the safari!
Dear Sir/Madam:
Since we have used this Clouds View Lodge from the year 2013 we have not had any negative comments to our preciously clients, but we are very sorry for what happen to your staying but things like WiFi and network login power supply in East-Africa is notoriously unreliable apart from power-cuts we frequently experience brownouts (low power situations) and, worse still, power spikes and over voltage, easily damaging sensitive electronic equipment.
We are very sorry about that but we will try our level best to make happy our clients and to recommend them and staying to another Hotel as we don't know when the electricity problem in Africa will never end!
Below is the reviews about the Clouds View from the other clients!
