Tanzania: Northern Circuit Tours

Our Tanzania Northern Circuit Safari Tours offer an extraordinary journey through some of the most iconic wildlife and cultural destinations in Africa. Starting in the vibrant city of Arusha, you’ll embark on an unforgettable adventure that takes you to the world-renowned Serengeti National Park, where you’ll witness the awe-inspiring Great Migration and observe an incredible variety of wildlife. From there, you’ll explore the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site teeming with diverse species within its stunning caldera. You’ll also have the opportunity to experience the Ngorongoro Highlands, with its lush forests and visits to Maasai villages, offering a unique glimpse into traditional East African life. To top off the experience, our tour includes a visit to the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, where you can admire the iconic peak that towers over the landscape. With expert guides, luxury accommodations, and personalized itineraries, our Northern Circuit Safari Tours provide the perfect way to explore Tanzania’s breathtaking beauty and rich cultural heritage.

Experience the majesty of Mount Kilimanjaro on this unforgettable one-day hiking adventure to the scenic Shira Plateau. This route offers a perfect introduction to Africa’s highest mountain without the need for a full summit climb. You’ll explore the lower slopes, where breathtaking landscapes, fresh mountain air, and unique alpine vegetation create a truly magical trekking experience.

The Shira Plateau is one of the oldest volcanic formations on Kilimanjaro, offering wide open views, dramatic scenery, and a peaceful trekking environment. As you hike through moorland zones, you’ll witness giant lobelias, heath vegetation, and, on clear days, sweeping views across the plains below. This is a great opportunity to experience the mountain’s natural beauty while enjoying a manageable and rewarding hike.

Led by professional mountain guides from Eastland Adventures, this day hike is ideal for both beginners and experienced hikers. Along the way, you’ll learn about Kilimanjaro’s ecosystems, geology, and local legends, making the journey both educational and inspiring.

This tour is ideal for travelers looking to unwind after safaris or mountain adventures. The springs are fed by underground streams from Mount Kilimanjaro, giving the water its unique clarity and refreshing feel. Whether you choose to float in the calm pools, swing from tree ropes into the water, or simply relax on the banks, Chemka offers a true tropical paradise experience.

With Eastland Adventures, you’ll travel comfortably and enjoy a stress-free day guided by a local expert. Along the way, you’ll pass through rural villages and scenic landscapes, adding a touch of cultural discovery to your relaxing nature escape.

It’s an ideal escape from the busy town, offering a closer connection to Tanzania’s natural beauty.

The highlight of the tour is a guided hike to the stunning Materuni Waterfalls, where water cascades down from a height of over 70 meters into a natural pool below.

Kilimanjaro Lemosho route, four day safari and balloon flight over Serengeti! Please do not look past this company! They were so attentive and supportive for our team of ten on the Kilimanjaro climb and safari tour. Before we even finished our sentence if we went to make a request, it was being acted upon! They fully understand the hiker experience and do everything in their power to make it the most enjoyable and rewarding journey right from the moment you step off the plane.A++ rating from our whole team!

Amazing adventure Hi Daniel and team, I would just like to say thank you for the amazing experience that I had with Eastland Adventures and Take Shape Adventures. Your team of guides and porters were absolutely fantastic. I especially love the conversations that I was able to have with Tlusa, David and Leo. I really appreciated Tlusa sharing his family stories with me and through David I have a much better understanding of Tanzania. The summit day, was exhilarating and very tiring, talking to David really helped me enjoy the walk down from the summit. Thank you so much to all your team, you have made my holiday absolutely incredible. Thanks Sally

11/10 RECOMMEND EASTLAND ADVENTURES for Kili climb! ❤️ Safe, knowledgeable, prepared, fun & successful! Climbing Kilimanjaro with Eastland Adventures was the experience of a lifetime. We were amazed by the large support team—many hands truly made light work. The guides were knowledgeable, fun, and incredibly supportive. They knew every detail of the mountain and made us feel safe at every step. Summit day was no joke, but when we got stuck, they carried our packs (on top of there's!!) when we struggled (still makes me tear up), helping us reach the top. The food was incredible (especially for being on a mountain!), and the accommodations before the climb were clean and secure. Everything was thoughtfully organized—even personalized mugs! Can’t recommend them enough. Feel free to message on IG: @mellewilliamson.

Eastland Adventures made our Kilimanjaro dreams come true! Words cannot express our appreciation for the incredible trekking experience with Eastland Adventures that made our Kilimanjaro summit dreams come true. The exceptional care, attention to detail, and remarkable expertise was truly amazing. We are so grateful and would 100% recommend them for your Kilimanjaro climb! As we were planning our trip, we researched various trekking companies and a family member referred us to Eastland Adventures. We are so happy we chose them. From the beginning, communication with Daniel, founder and CEO, was phenomenal. Correspondence was timely, thoughtful, detailed, and very helpful. Our lead guide David and assistant guide Walter were absolutely incredible and shared so much with us during our expedition. They were patient, knowledgeable, and caring. Their encouragement and experience was instrumental in creating a successful and fun adventure. We truly appreciated the way our guides taught us about the mountain, the people, and the culture. In addition to our amazing guides, the entire team of porters were superhuman, demonstrating remarkable strength and endurance. Carrying individual packs while balancing heavy loads on their heads, the team was truly inspiring. Their specialized skills ensured our comfort and well-being from setting up camp to crafting delicious meals to providing a portable clean toilet. It was wonderful to experience their camaraderie and joy, and the team's dedication to service was evident in every detail. Shout out to team Calimanjaro: Boniface, Jackson, Langaeli, Walle, Joseph, Ali, Oswald, John, Matei, and Shedrac. Mashujaa for life! In December 2024, we completed the 7-day Rongai route, which was great for acclimatization and to enjoy the Kilimanjaro adventure without feeling rushed. After our progress on the first day and with our guides' advice, we were able to spend two nights rather than one at a higher elevation to acclimatize better, which made our Kilimanjaro adventure even more successful. On summit night, we hiked up with our guides and support porters. Summit night/day was a challenging climb for us because of the altitude, and we would not have made it to the summit without our summit team. They were encouraging, patient, and supportive. Reaching the summit was a dream come true! Overall, it was an experience of a lifetime. Eastland Adventures went above and beyond what we could have ever imagined. Asante Sana Eastland Adventures!- Aarika and Miguel

Amazing once in a lifetime experience! Daniel at Eastland ensured that we were very comfortable during our entire trip. He arranged everything from transportation, lodging, knowledgeable mountain guides, fantastic cook, and amazing porters. We had a small group of family (only 3 of us). We didn't know what to expect landing in Tanzania for the first time, but felt very welcome and gained some new local family. Everything was on-time and as scheduled. We were fed like royalty and had, the always welcome, coffee and tea in the morning and tea time in the evening. The whole experience was once in a lifetime and we are sure we chose the correct outfit. The views spoke for themselves. We had ideal weather.

Awesome!!!! Great time all round! Porters, guides, drivers were friendly and professional. Food, campsites, sleeping tents, toilets all very good. Climbing Kilimanjaro was both beautiful and brutal especially on way down! I only wish we had taken more time with the safari and stayed longer. Really an existential experience we will never forget. Asante Tanzania!

Truly the trip of a lifetime. BOOK NOW!!! After our Kili hike, we chose to run in the Moshi marathon. Then, we departed on Safari for 4 days. MINDS BLOWN!!! Our driver Raymond was amazing! The roads to and from the national parks are CHALLENGING, and those within the park even more so. Be prepared for lots of bumps and mud, but the reward is MORE THAN WORTH IT!!! The Serengeti is never ending, and has more animals that you can even imagine. Ngorongoro is not to be missed either. Each and every detail was planned for us, which made it easier for us to really enjoy all that the country has to offer. DO NOT HESITATE to consider Eastland for your Tanzania adventure!!! Locally owned and operated!!
