Fantastic staff and a great value for your money.
I had an excellent experience overall. The tour director
(Mike), our driver/guide (Elias), and chef (Musa) were all amazing and accommodating. Musa, hands down was the best chef and he cooked the tastiest food I've had in Tanzania. Elias was a great driver and guide. He would always be on the lookout for animals unlike what we heard from some of the other tourists. Mike, by far, provided the best customer service during my whole Africa vacation. When our flight got cancelled out of JRO, he went to the Precision Air office and rescheduled our flighs. He didn't have to do this as it was the day after the tour had ended. Kudos to Mike for helping us out.
The areas we visited were all typical locations that all tours go to. We were disappointed that we couldn't go off-road or go on night tours. Turns out that another permit is required to do that. If you would like to go off road then I suggest inquiring about it before the safari.
I had an amazing 4-days with NCA and I would recommend it to my friends.

The Best Tour Operator in Tanzania
We had a great time with Northern Circuit. Mike is awesome - although we booked our own flights after the safari, Mike went out of his way and rushed to the airline to help us reschedule our flights after our flights were cancelled. We were so worried but Mike saved the day.
Our tour guide and cook during the safari were amazing as well. I have nothing but good things to say about the duo. They allowed us to take our time with pictures and would nudge us when we were being slow. NCA is an experienced operator and I will definitely be booking with them again!

Safari memories for life!
We visited Tanzania for a three days Safari. Before we went to our next stop. What a amazing trip! memories for life! We could write a long long text about our safari, but instead I just want to say to all of you that haven't been on a safari, GO! We saw alot of animlas, from small colorfull birds to big lions and elephants.... We will go back!
Thank you so much for a great Safari! We miss Tanzani and all of our new friends!

Good price, very helpful staff, a lot of fun and nothing to complain about !!!!
We made a 6 day tent safari with Northern Circuit Adventure. We can absolutely recommend it !!!
We went in the low season and had the luck that it was only the 2 of us in the car. We saw lofs of animals (of course the big 5) and could always stay as long as we liked.
The owner Michael was all the time very helpful. For questions before the tour and also when we arrived in Arusha. We felt very welcome the whole time.
The tour is in comparison to the other companies a very good offer and we didn't see any big difference to the other more expensive companies. Maybe the cars are a bit newer, but there was nothing to complain about our car. They are in a very good shape even with electricity charger.
All cars of all companies are connected via radio communication so the drivers always know where you can find the animals.
The tents and equipment where in good and clean condition.
Food was (as from what we saw with all companies the same) and typical african food. It was always enough food and yummy.
We can defenitly recommend this operator and we would do the tour again the same way.
The Hotel Clouds view was very clean and absolutely ok for the arrival day but there is not much to do in Arusha.

I wouldn't change this trip for a Luxury-Safari
Already booking was super easy and quick. I booked for a Budget-Safari. Though the first night was more luxus-camping, with own showers in our tents. And the campside there even had a swimming-pool. The chef was preparing lovely food like every day. And then the other campsides were an exhitement. It was set in the middle of the wildlife-area. So now and then some animales were passing by close to our camp. And the way the trip was planed was very good. So we went to Lake Manyara first and to the Crater at last. This way it is getting even more exhiting from one day to another. We saw all five and even more. Our driver would even go the extra mile and find the more hidden animals. All in all I wouldn't change this one for a Luxury-Safari and I highly recommend this operator.
Organized, professional, flexible
Northern Circuit Adventure was a good company for us, particularly as we were booking at the last minute, unsure of our options and what we wanted, and on a budget. Michael was flexible in booking and responded quickly, and he was able to add on a trip to Zanzibar after our safari. Our driver, Dennis, was so knowledgeable and personable, and our cook was also friendly and helpful. Small issues that arose were quickly taken care of, and it was definitely a good value, considering that people who paid much more to other companies had most of the same experiences.

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!
