After breakfast, continue to Lake Manyara National Park, a compact but diverse destination with groundwater forest, lake views, acacia woodland, and open plains. The 6 Day Northern Circuit Safari includes Lake Manyara to add variety, with chances to see baboons, blue monkeys, giraffes, elephants, buffalo, flamingos in season, and possibly tree-climbing lions.

Travel toward Serengeti National Park through scenic highlands and wide plains. After entering the park, begin game viewing in Central Serengeti, where resident wildlife and predators can be excellent throughout the year. This day adds the Serengeti’s famous open landscapes and big cat territory to the 6 Day Northern Circuit Safari.

Spend a full day exploring Serengeti National Park. Your guide will choose routes based on wildlife movement and recent sightings. The 6 Day Northern Circuit Safari allows time to search for lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, and large herds across the plains, kopjes, and river valleys.

Enjoy a morning game drive in Serengeti before driving toward Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The journey gives more chances for wildlife and scenic photography as the plains shift into crater highlands. The 6 Day Northern Circuit Safari continues with an overnight near Ngorongoro, placing you close to the crater for the next day’s descent.

Descend into Ngorongoro Crater for a final wildlife experience. The crater floor supports elephants, buffalo, wildebeest, zebras, hippos, lions, hyenas, and, with luck, black rhino. After lunch and game viewing, return to Arusha, completing the 6 Day Northern Circuit Safari with a strong mix of parks, wildlife, and pace.
