Plan on WhatsAppA private, upmarket take on the classic northern circuit — Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti — staying at hand-picked lodges and finishing with a scenic flight back from the Serengeti rather than the long drive. Available in mid-range or luxury, it's an easy, comfortable way to see Tanzania's headline parks in five days.
