Great safari, real Africa! I'll never forget it <3
Thank you so much Mike for takin care of EVERYTHING before and after our 6days safari! Very kind and helpfull person and I'm really thankful for everything!
We booked a 6 days budget safari from Northern Circuit Adventure and we really enjoyed it! Sleeping in tents was actually very exciting!!! Buffalos, impalas, gnuus and elephants came very close to our tents in the evening and night in Serengeti Seronera campsite ... We also saw one hyeena very close! I really loved it! There was only cold water in the showers and tent wasn't very luxurious, but it was definitely worth it all! Simba campsite in Ngorongoro was so noisy and full of people so we didn't see any animals there...
Our driver Isak was excellent and took good care of us and out cook Ben was a great guy too! Food was a bit poor sometimes, but that wasn't cooks fault. The chef would have needed a more versatile food ingredient. Maybe food was a 'budget' too ;) Anyway Ben was absolutely the BEST CHEW to make soups!!! Really tastefull!<3<3
On our 6 days safari we saw 58 lions (eating, mating and even hunting!!), 5 rhinos and ALOT of all other animals too!!! I would go back to Tanzania any time!!! Comparing to Kenya Tsavo and Amboseli parks where I was travelling last february, I would absolutely recomment Tanzania<3 So much animals! You wount believe it before you see it!
Best country and best safari where I've ever been!
Only minus for real comes from that our jeep got broken twise. First time it was fixed quite soon but the next time on our last day the jeep couldn't be fixed so easily (so good it was the last day!) and we had to leave our driver Isak alone with the broken jeep in Ngorongoro and some Russian couple took us in their jeep and drove us to some village where we took a local bus to the Sunbright Campsite... That was a bit exciting end to our safari :D
Anyway I really really enjoyed everything and our safari was definitely a once in a lifetime experience that everyone shoud experience in their lives!

Thank you so much for the nice 5 days we spent in Tarangire,Lake Manyara,Serengeti & Ngorongoro
Hi Mike and Northern Circuit Adventure!
Thank you so much for the nice 5 days we spent in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Despite our car was broken at the end of our first day and we lost some hours in Ngorongoro Crater, everything was very nice organized and we got a new car the next day.
We have seen a lot of animals and also from very close, which was very impressive and exciting. Ben was a very good cook who served us really nice food every single day it was delicious! Also our driver/ guide Thomas he was the best!
According to our broken car, Mike gave us a free ride by Taxi to the Kilimanjaro airport – what we really appreciated! We will recommend Northern Circuit Adventure to our friends in Switzerland!
Thank you!
Caroline and Valerie

Great experience!
I have been four days on safari with Northern Circuit Adventure, my driver guide was Marco he was a great guy, very wise and fun to be around. Very tasty (although sometimes time consuming) meals were cooked by David. Everything went according to plan, the people with whom I joined were very nice, summing up I had a great time, lost of animals up close and rough situations which, to my point of view are great experience and very fun.
Asante Sana Mike.

Good communications, always good organization, always smile!!
You are a real caring man. We loved how you interacted with us. We needed money, you arranged it, we needed explanations or help with stuff in Arusha, you helped us even when you weren't supposed to.
We loved and enjoyed our three days safari to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park thanks! We real had a nice journey. Also the Kilimanjaro climb the Marangu route six day was great! A life-changing – experience! You made our dream vacation come true.
Thanks Mike!

Great safari, value for the money...
I've been for several times with Northern Circuit Adventure on Safari, each time in other circumstances, with other friends,... I never got disappointed about the offered program. Especially Ngorongoro is astonishing and so beautiful, ... The reason for coming back and again and again ! Thanks to NCA no nonsense safaris !!!

Great experience
We have been with three friends on a safari organized by Michael from Nothern Circuit Adventure. It was a six day trip to three national parks: Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Additionally we have visited Olduvai Gorge and three tribes: Masai (very briefly), Hadza and Datoga. We were accompanied for time of the trip by a driver (also being a guide) Justin and a cook Sweetbart.
We all think this was a fantastic adventure. The plan was well balanced between exploring nature, free time, meeting native people etc. We have seen more animals than expected and more importantly experienced much more than we thought. Justin and Sweetbart were very helpful, thinking how to make our trip the best and never complain for any inconvenience (like our delay). It was interesting to talk with them about nature, Tanzania, Africe and life :). Justin is professional in his guiding skills, we has a broad knowledge about african nature and also wants to learn more. Sweetbart prepared really nice meals, we didn't have any stomach problems despite coming from very different place (Poland). Michael, the director, was helpful during the prepartion. He responded quickly to my messages on WhatsApp and his answers were to the point. It is important to emphasise that our safari trip was much less extereme than we expected. We felt safe and also importantly level of hygiene in toilets etc. was high on camping places. I trully recommend trip with Northern Circuit Adventure and especially with Justin and Sweetbart.

Amazing! Second time we decide to come.
Michael is always reactive and carefully listens to your needs to provide the best experience possible.
The first time was perfect, the second time was even better!

Unique Experience
My English is not so good but I try to write this review as good as possible. We are a family from Germany with two children at the age of 7 and 15 years. We booked an eight day safari with Northern Circuit Adventure including the northern national parks (Arusha, Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro). We found that company because of a positive review in a travel Guide. Furthermore we wanted to book a smaller local company because we expected that they would take more care of our individual desires. To keep in contact with Michael the owner of the company was very easy. He made us a very good offer. He offers us also to postpone the journey in the case we would not travel due to Corona.
The company picked us up from the Kilimanjaro Airport and brought us to our hostel. The day after we went to Michaels office to talk about some details of our safari. And at the following day Livingston our driver and guide picked us up with a well maintained off-road vehicle. Eventually a unique safari experience started because
-Livingston was a very good, experienced and prudent driver. At no time we had any fear that an accident could happen. Even facing very bad roads we had always arrived our sites in a good and healthy condition.
-Livingston has actually very good eyes. He even discovered animals with his bare eyes which we only saw with binoculars. So we were able to to see rare animals like the tree climbing lions at Lake Manyara, leopards at Tarangire or rhinos in the Serengeti.
-I noticed that Livingston knows the wild animals very well and he loves them. At no time he was chasing the animals for a short photo contrary to many drivers we saw during the journey. He even asked us for patience when he stayed longer at a certain place and often it was worthwhile. So we saw cheetahs and lions chasing wildebeest and zebras or we were in the middle of the herd of elephants.
-Livingston has very good nerves. Everyone travelling with children knows that they easily get tired and annoying but Livingston has always managed to keep them happy and interested.
If possible I recommend you to choose Northern Circuit Adventure. Everything was organised and carried out in the way we agreed on beforehand. The relationship between the driver, the company owner and us was up from the beginning very heartful and Michael even give us a bottle of red wine for a romantic evening at the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater.
Since in particular the small Tanzanian local companies are suffering from the Corona-Crisis and getting no governmental support at all I advise you to choose that company. You will not regret that!!!
