Fantastic safari and extremely wonderful trip!
I am a solo traveler so I was trying to find a group to join in,and Michael(the owner) find me ,answer all my questions really quickly,and with patient (by the way he is really a funny guy).
Our driver ,Elias,is a friendly,sincere person!I always felt comfortable while talking to him and I also consider him my friend!Elias always took care of everyone,and he got a extremely good eye sight! We saw all the big 5,plenty of birds,wildebeest and zebra migration,and lots of other animals.
Our cook Gabriel prepared great food everyday,I really enjoyed the soup!
The camp site in Serengeti and Ngorongoro was really nice!The sky,stars,the sound ,and lots of wild life surrounding us,it was just fantastic.
I think I am lucky because everyone in the group I joined is so friendly,funny,and special.We had lots of laugh and good memories.That the good thing about join in a group!
The only disadvantage is that everyone got a different schedule(for join a group),some leave earlier or some later,and sometimes we have to cut our trip shorter to fit the schedule.
It would be better if we could discuss the schedule previously and try to have the most time to visit without delayed other's plan.
It was a really really great trip more than my expectations!And I like that Michael showed at the last day and say goodbye to everyone~I will recommend Northern circuit adventure for my friend in Taiwan!
Thanks a lot!

An adventure never to be forgotten
My wife and I (age 60s) met up with our daughter and her friend (age late 20s) for a 6 day safari, visiting Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Gnorongoro NPs in early June 2014. We couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more. Our guide and driver, Josephat was excellent. He was well informed, very obliging and a lot of fun. They were very flexible, made easier by our group of four being the only occupants of the vehicle, and altered the sequence of parks to accommodate our daughter being sick on day 1. Food was simple, but adequate, and accommodation was self erected tents on 3 nights and permanent tents on the other 2 nights. This suited our group well as we felt we had experienced the real Serengeti, but may not suit a group less used to camping or wanting more luxury. Our only negative was an attempt to extract payment for the last night's accommodation, when it had clearly already been paid for. No additional payment was provided, and it was recognized fairly quickly that payment had already been made.

Affordable and Wonderful
I had to go to Dar Es Salaam for work and so I decided to take the opportunity to do a safari whilst I was in Tanzania. I knew very little about safaris so my method for choosing was just to log onto safari bookings.com, enter the length of safari I wanted and then compare on price and destinations (I knew I wanted to see Serengeti and Ngorogoro, past that I wasn't fussy)
Northern Circuit Safaris was one of the most affordable companies that came up for a 5 day/4 night safari. Any worries that by paying less I was compromising on quality were completely misplaced. I had a wonderful experience. The company director Michael promptly responded to my emails and was very helpful joining me up with an existing safari of 4 people (I was actually on the same safari as 'Eric H' who has posted a review on here already)
The safari itself was magical. We saw lions, giraffes, elephants, hippos, a black rhino, cheetahs, hyenas, jackals, gazelles, impala, zebra and so many birds. The camping sites were lovely and the tents and mattresses were great. Our guide Solomon was knowledgeable, friendly and a lovely human being who enriched our experience no end. Rodrey our cook made fantastic food for us every morning and evening, a mixture of local and international cuisine (One day we had ugali, another day Spaghetti Bolognese!)
I cannot recommend Northern Circuit adventures highly enough. They did a great job of making my once in a lifetime safari memorable for all the right reasons.

Great Safari Experience
Was traveling alone, and emailed the company last-minute to look for a safari tour to join. The owner (Michael) was very quick to respond, and accommodating in terms of finding a group that matched my requested itinerary and arranging airport pick-up and drop-offs. Our driver/guide (Solomon) was excellent; we felt safe and comfortable at all times, and his experience and expertise ensured that we had as many animal sightings as possible. The camp cook (Rodrey) made sure the group was well-fed with delicious meals. All in it was a very positive first-time safari experience, and would not hesitate recommending this tour operator to others.

More than exceed expectations!
My wife and I booked our safari last minute. After extensive research we chose Northern Circuit, and we're glad we did. We saw so much wildlife. So much more than we thought. We knew it was low season, but wanted to give it a chance. It turned out to be the best decision as we felt like we had more of the parks to ourselves.
Gabriel was such a great cook and friendly. We have been traveling for months, and I actually gained weight on the 5 day safari because we ate so well!
Eliasi is a great guide and a great person. In fact I would consider both of them friends at this point. We had so much fun with them, laughing and trying to find all the animals! I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone!

Amazing African wildlife safari experience with northern circuit adventure
I am zubair from southern part of india. In February 2014 I was realized my life's ambition that a African wildlife safari. When I was looking for a good safari operator in whole Africa, so many different companies I found. Including northern circuit adventure. Finally I chose northern circuit adventure by only one email. They are provided all information about safari with first e mail. Why I choose them? Answer is very simple . very cheap price. I was contacted with more than 10 companies, but I can't accept them bcs of highly expensive. Finally I went kilimanjaro international airport. I got visa on arrival at the airport within 10 minutes. I was alone. I went out from terminal building. There the director of northern circuit adventure mr Michael Ndallo(Mike) waiting for me with his car. He took me to a good hotel in arusha. Very nice person. I was changed my concept about African people while our journey to arusha with Mike.
Next day morning we're leaving arusha for our 5 days safari. The safari car was good. Almost all facilities on board. Guide book, charging sockets, refrigerator, ex. Our driver was Solomon(solo). He able to speak very good English and he have good knowledge about wildlife and national parks. Very friendly and helpful person. Next nice thing is foood. Our cook was Gabriel. Always prepare something special. Food was excellent. Even suitable for Europeans.
The game drive is a amazing experience for us. We can see almost all types of animals very close. Our driver solo was very nice. He stop car and explain about animals. It is very helpful for us. Totally very excited and amazing trip. Next time I will be with same company. Thanks alot for mike and his team. Keep your dedication upon your clients... god bless you...

A fantastic experience!
I had no idea what to expect with a safari and spent some time looking for something suitable particularly as I was travelling by myself. Mike was very helpful and there was a lot of email exchange talking about options. I was so happy to see Dennis my guide on the agreed date and he was really knowledgeable about the animals and plants. It was an absolutely amazing experience seeing all the animals in their natural environment. I liked the lodge I stayed in as it was near a town and going for a drink there in the evening was totally unlike anywhere in the world! I would happily recommend this operation to anyone especially friends and family.
Asante!
