Mid-Range 6 Days / 5 Nights Private Vehicle
6-Day Northern Circuit Safari
Tarangire · Serengeti · Ngorongoro Crater
“I’ve travelled a lot. Nothing prepared me for the Serengeti. Rift & Ridge made it feel completely personal.” — Mark & Claire, Australia — July 2025
WHY THIS SAFARI
The Lion Couldn’t Care Less That You’re There.
That’s the moment most first-time visitors remember. Not the lion itself but the realization that you’ve stepped into something that existed long before you arrived, and will carry on long after you leave. Six days. Three iconic parks. One private vehicle. No strangers in your jeep.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Is Tanzania safe for safari travel?
Tanzania is one of Africa’s most politically stable and tourist-friendly destinations. Rift & Ridge guides are first-aid trained and follow emergency protocols. Standard travel precautions apply.
Do I need malaria prophylaxis?
Yes. Consult your doctor or travel clinic at least 4–6 weeks before departure. Yellow fever vaccination may be required depending on your travel history.
Can I extend or customize this itinerary?
Every package is a starting point. We can add Northern Serengeti days, a Zanzibar beach extension, or build something completely bespoke. Tell us your dates and we’ll design around them.
Peak season availability (June–October) fills 4–6 months in advance. The earlier you enquire, the more options remain open.
