Great 6-day safari
There were 3 of us on a 6 day safari, covering Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. Our guide was Dennis and our cook was Rhodrick. Both were excellent, especially Dennis who was very knowledgeable, friendly and easy to talk to.
The food was good, fairly simple, but fresh and there was lots of it. The campsites were all clean and Dennis provided us with everything we needed (eg sleeping bags, toilet paper).
We saw loads of wildlife and Dennis always made sure we had the maximum amount of time in all the national parks. He even took a detour on our way out of the serengeti to try and catch a pride of lions for us. And when the shock absorber on our jeep broke he spent 2 evenings at a neighbouring campsite getting it fixed so we didn't miss any game viewing time (kindly charging all our camera batteries at the same time).
Micheal was there to meet us at the start and finish of out safari, and was always quick to respond to our emails when planning our trip. Our only criticism of Northern Circuit is that we had agreed on a slightly different itinerary, spending 2 nights in the northern region of the serengeti, to try and see the migration. When we arrived we were told it wasn't really necessary, and we instead went to a different public campsite in the central region. I think the main reason for the change is that we wouldn't have been able to get there in the time, but that should have been discussed with us during our planning.
Apart from that we had a great time and would recommend this company.

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
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

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

Wonderful Experience!
We did Northern Circuit Adventures' 6 Day Safari in at the end of 2014.
Michael was very helpful, meeting us at the airport, arranging transport, checking in to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Our driver guide (Dennis) was amazing - with plenty of experience, stories and insight into what we saw. Dennis was a wealth of information for all things safari, but also gave us a really good insight into Tanzanian history, culture and society. You could tell that he really loved his job and we felt very safe in his capable hands! Roderick, our cook, always had a smile and made sure we were ok.
Not really knowing what to expect, we absolutely loved the safari experience. A few campsites certainly weren't glamour camping, but they added to the fun of the experience - making you really feel like you were on safari! Given that most of the food for the six days was carried with us - the food was delicious and there was always plenty of it! Dennis was very flexible, and given it was only two of us, was more than happy to change plans, extend times for afternoon naps and stop off at various places.
We both felt a tinge of sadness when Dennis and Roderick dropped us back at our hotel - it was an amazing experience and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Norther Circuit Adventure to anyone!
we had a good journey in Arusha mainly because we did a right choice,Northern Circuit Advanture made
Northern Circuit Advanture is a safari company that we traveled with in Arusha's parks,we found it great cause the owner knew how to do business,he takes care of his customers.he takes his time and call his customers travelling and ask them how they are enjoying,we found it appreciable.
he provided us good lodges,nice food, in brief we had our time of our life with Northern circuit.
I wish I could work with you Mike.
Thank you for everything.
