Overview
This 5-day camping itinerary covers three of the Northern Circuit's strongest parks: the Ngorongoro Crater, with one of the highest concentrations of game anywhere in Africa; the Serengeti, the heart of wild Africa and home to a massive resident wildlife population; and Tarangire, known for its elephant herds and dramatic baobab-studded landscape.
Camping accommodation throughout keeps this itinerary more affordable than an equivalent lodge-based trip, without compromising on which parks you actually get to experience.
