| Individual Safaris - Northern Tanzania |
|
The following itineraries are our Individual Safari Itineraries for Northern Tanzania. "Individual Safari" means that whether you are just 2 persons travelling together or a small group, you will always have your own driver-guide and you will not be grouped with other travellers. This allows for total flexibility, but is slightly more expensive than our group safaris with fixed departure days, in which you will be grouped with fellow travellers. However, our prices for individual safaris are still very attractive and affordable! If you are interested in customising any of the itineraries given below, contact us for a custom quote! Our individual safaris in Northern Tanzania can include any park and area of Northern Tanzania, but most commonly visit: Arusha National Park Serengeti Ngorongoro Crater Lake Manyara Tarangire Olduvai Gorge Lake Eyasi Lake Natron Oldoinyo Lengai Usambara Mountains Lake Victoria
