Excellent budget choice
Mike is very communicative and responds quickly to emails. Elias (guide) was excellent, lovely, knowledgable and friendly! We had a great experience with Northern Circuit. Great choice of camp in the Serengeti as it was well located and reduced long driving time each day. Good, hearty food and comfortable vehicle.

Great time, great souvenirs, great services
We spent a great time in Tanzania thanks to an extremely committed staff. From the first exchanges by email, which Mike answered without delay including the personalisation of the tour, to the safari itself with a friendly and accurate guide together with tasty-food maker chef.

Good Safari
We had a great safari with Northern Circuit Adventure with 9 people & 2 cars. First we had a organisation who was cheating us, i'm glad we found this company and we can trust this company. We stayed at Sakina Campsite. Robbert, a very nice guy of Sakina Campsite, introduced this company.
In one hour we booked our safari, the director of Norther Circuit Adventure just asked his wife to make 9 lunchboxes as fast as possible. So sweet.
Our trip (5 days, 4 nights, based camp) was great!!! We saw the big 5. Unfortunately we were very lucky to see the Rhino. Very far away, but we saw him!!! We saw so many lions, buffalo's, cheetah, elephants and pumba's. And so close to the car. :)
The only thing that could be better.... We had not enough of water at our trip. They said: 1,5 Liter pp a day. We didn't have that much bottles... In fact we should bring our own water bottles because we ran out of water....
Thanks Director, Guides and Chefs!

Incredible Safari Experience
We had a phenomenal time with Northern Circuit Adventure. Mike was extremely responsive and accommodating to our schedule, even when our flights got shifted around and delayed we were able to contact him and arrange for an alternative pick up place and time. Once on the safari, we loved every second of it. Not only did Northern Circuit arrange 4 fantastic days including trips to 4 national/conservation parks and a Masaai village, but we were guided by Dennis, an extremely, fun, lovely, and knowledgable person. Moreover, we did the budget safari, but felt the accommodations were above and beyond what we were expecting -we stayed at wonderful camping site with amazing food and entertainment and slept in a luxury tent (which included lights, chargers, and a private tent bathroom with a shower). We have never written a review of anything, but we strongly feel that Northern Circuit deserves the highest of praises and strongly recommend it to anyone interested in going on a Safari in Tanzania. Feel free to email us by accessing our information through Northern Circuit for more information or to verify the recommendation.

Great budget safari for Serengeti and Tanz National Parks
The owner/ manager Mike was very helpful, personable, and responsive to our questions and requests. He asked if we had any dietary restrictions so that they could plan the meals accordingly, and gave us detailed itineraries of what we would be doing and when. He even helped us arrange tours with other companies on the days we weren't on safari and got us a more affordable mode of transportation to the airport (which was HARD to find!) We looked at other companies and this was one of the more affordable safaris we could find, and being able to pay online cut out extra exchange fees.
The safari itself was great, better than I would have expected. What made our trip though was the driver and cook (Hassani and Pius, request them!!) They took EXCELLENT care of us, were super friendly, professional, overall wonderful people. Our driver/guide was a walking encyclopedia of information on the fauna, flora, geography, culture, etc of the area and he was a very safe and cautious driver. We talked to other groups at the campsites and it was clear Hassani was one of the most experienced, professional and friendly driver/guides around.
I would recommend anyone I know to use this company.

"Unbelievable experience"
We had a great time with Northern Circuit Adventure with 5 people.
Mike(the director of Northern Circuit Adventure) is so helpful and reliable.
Firtht of all, I had a lot of concerns(payment, diseases...), but Mike taught a lot of things kindly and cleared them.When I arrived at Tanzania, he welcomed me with open arms and when I departured from there, he saw me off wiht a handshake.He is really great guys. I never forget him.
We visited Arusha N.P, Lake Manyara N.P.Ngorongoro C.A and Tarangire N.P(4Days 3Nights).
All of them was fantastic ! ! !
I could see all of Big 5(The African Elephant, The African Rhino, The African Leopard, The African Lion, The Cape Buffalo) except Leopart.So many elephant in Tarangire ! I was very surprised and impressd.
Our guide Geofrey was "super" . He taught us a lot of things about Safari and let us take pictures until we were satisfied with it.
And our cook Sweetbart was "gerea". He made great food every day. In particular, I liked his soup... I wanna have it again.
On the other hand, there is some points they need to make better.
I spent 2 days in a Camp site, but a quilt was a little unhygienic...
and its showers didnt't have hot water, only cold, so I was freezing only when I took a shower.
Howerever, if I go to Tanzania again, I will choose this great company again !
I reccomend Northen Curcuit Adventure to you, strongly.
They must realize your dreams !
Very Special Thanks to Mike, Geofrey, and Sweetbart ! See you again.

Great safari on a budget
We did the two-night, three-day safari of Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Staying at the Sunbright Tented Lodge. The company provided a great service, our guide was great and the cook's food was very good.

3 day Safari Tarangire, Ngorondoro and L.Manyara
Was a great 3 days experience of our 1st Safari ever. I recomend this agency if you want to do a Safari with best price quality. The Director, Michael was very very nice since 1st contact by Safaribookings and manage a Safari on dates and places that we wont. He picked us up on Airport, leave us on Hotel that was include on price (Very nice hotel, clean and friendly) and every time he was making sure that everthing was ok with us. Then on next day our guide and motorist (Denis) picked us up on hotel and the adventure started. We learned many things about the country and animals with Denis. We stayed on a campsite out of the parks, where the managers were very friendly also. we were on fullboard meals and the cook on campsite was very good. Taragire has many Elephants, Ngorondoro is amanzing (a place to see the Big 5) and lake Manyara is also nice but we couldnt saw the tree climbing lions on that day. We loved this Safari. Next time we will go to Serengeti.

Up & close with wildlife and outstanding service from NCA
Thanks to Northern Circuit Adventure, my husband and I enjoyed a wonderful safari and trouble-free journeys during our stay in Tanzania and Zanzibar. We arranged the safari with Michael, the Director who responded quickly to our emails and answered all questions before the trip. He was friendly, reliable (understood that we were not going by "African time") and checked in on us at every step to ensure that we were picked up on time, everytime. We booked a 5 night safari - a spectacular African adventure! Our guide, Josephat was knowledgeable, relaxed and open. He even helped us, together with the Director, to collect our luggage that had been delayed by Precison Air. We saw the "Big 5" and got close to much of the wildlife. The food was more than substantial with our own chef, Roderick accompanying us throughout the whole safari. Vegetarian alternatives were also provided with some meals. I would recommend NCA to anyone wanting a close up encounter with Tanzania wildlife. 5 stars!!
