Unforgettable safari with Northern Circuit Adventure
5/5

We (a middle-aged Polish couple) have just come back from our unforgettable holidays in Tanzania, one week on a safari in the Northern Circuit area and one week at Jambiani in Zanzibar. We searched www.safaribookings.com for a safari operators and out of many offers which we had studied we decided to choose Northern Circuit Adventure from Arusha, managed by Michael Ndallo. From the very first moment we felt Michael would be our final choice. His friendly attitude, enthusiasm and immediate responses to our enquiries were irresistable. What we liked was a 25% prepayment compared to 30-40% demanded by other operators. All documentation, itinerary, receipts and confirmations were first class. When we finally arrived in Arusha, on a bus from Nairobi, Michael was there waiting for us, all smiles. We decided to go on a 4 nights/5 days low budget camping safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We received what we had expected and even more. Accommodation at Lilac Campsite in a tent with shower/WC was a real surprise. We have no words to enough praise Said, our driver guide. He is a joyful, friendly man with a terrific knowledge and experience. Despite wearing glasses when driving he has eagle's eyes and can spot animals half-hidden in grass from a distance. He can explain all differences between one species of antelope and another. He was so helpful skillfully maneuvering the car so that we could take best pictures. Thanks to his initiative and perfect sight we could see even a leopard (from a distance but nevertheless..). Thank you Said! And special thanks to our cook Sweetbart who in desperately basic conditions could prepare wonderful meals, plentiful and tasty. Lunch boxes always contained more food than we could eat at once. All in all we do not regret that we have chosen Northern Circuit Adventure. They are a trustworthy, reliable, professional team who know their job. We will definitely recommend them among our kith and kin who might show interest in going on a safari in Tanzania.

amazing 5-day safari
5/5

We loved the 5 days camping safari with Thomas - our guide. We spent 3 days in Serengeti, 1 in Ngorongoro Crater and 1 in Lake Manyara. We saw all of the Big 5 and many more and hadn't expected it to be so unbelievable amazing! All was very good organized, delicious food, good camping gear and excellent company.

Incredible private safari with the amazing Dennis!
5/5

After much research and consideration, my sister and I booked a private safari with Northern Circuit, and it was incredible. Michael was always available to connect about the itinerary and would answer all questions very thoroughly. We did a custom experience with lodges and tented camps instead of budget camping, and it was perfect. Sure, we could have roughed it, but honestly it was so great to end the day at a nicer place. Since we had never been to Africa before, there were a lot of unknowns, and everything worked out great. I am so impressed with Northern Circuit Adventure's professionalism. They really know everything about safariing, and we were well taken care of and in very good hands. Dennis was our guide for the 4 days 3 nights and he is simply the best and made our experience such a good one. We spend hours and hours with this man and he truly became a friend. The only thing I would change about our experience is to go for longer because it was so incredible (I'd say 6 or 7 days would be ideal). So grateful for the once in a lifetime experience with Northern Circuit Adventure!

Great safari with helpful staff
5/5

We went on a safari for two days to lake manyara and ngorongoro. We were a bit dissatisfied with manyara, but ngorongoro was great! Next time we will go to Serengeti.
Northern circuit and Michael which we had contact with were great in arranging the safari for us with a really good price together with four other people.
Definitely recommend to everyone!

Organization was good.
4/5

Mike spoke in detail about the possible safari options, and two, and three, and a greater number of days. We have chosen the best possible option - 6 days. But in this case we had to wait two days. We paid per night at the hotel in anticipation of the first day of the waiting vyezda.V day drove to the waterfall, the evening was able to see Kilimanjaro. The second day we alone walk on the city of Arusha.
And the guide-driver, and povar- great guys. During the trip, they were attentive, took care of us.
We received from the Safari a lot of positive emotions! Adrenaline sometimes rolls over! Camp in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro no fence in the open nature! And at night sometimes lions, hyenas and elephants go !!! People remember it! Stock up on "nocturnal vyzami".
Breakfasts and dinners were tasty, depleted rations. We did not go hungry. 1.5 liter of water for each given day.
Mike helped us in buying tickets to Zanzibar.
Thank you very much for such a great trip!

Very good safari
4/5

Thanks Michael for this great time. We had the chance to view many animals. Maybe we would have like to see a bite more of the local life in villages (massai, etc) but it was great anyway! I definitely advise Nothern circuit for your safari.

Excellent experience!
5/5

I had a great experience with Northern Circuit Adventures. From beginning to end, Michael, Elias and Musa were professional, knowledgeable and fun. I did a group-join six-day camping tour to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and had a fantastic time. There was so much to see, so much to learn and it was the experience of a lifetime. Highly recommended!
