◆ NORTHERN CIRCUIT · YERA JOURNEYS
One million wildebeest. Ancient craters. Elephant corridors at golden hour. Tanzania's Northern Circuit — guided by someone who has spent 20+ years reading its rhythms. Trusted by travellers from 50+ countries since 2004.
◆ THE PROBLEM
You booked the Northern Circuit because you wanted to see Tanzania at its finest. Then you arrived — and found 40 vehicles at the same sighting, a guide reading from a laminated card, and camps chosen for their star rating rather than their location. The Northern Circuit is Tanzania's most iconic route. It is also its most overcrowded — if you go the wrong way, at the wrong time, with the wrong guide.
◆ THE YERA DIFFERENCE
Edward has spent 20+ years learning exactly where to be on the Northern Circuit — and when. Which corridors are empty at dawn. Which section of the Serengeti holds the cats in July. Where the elephants move in Tarangire at the end of the dry season. Your Northern Circuit is planned around that knowledge — not a template.
See what is included →◆ WHAT YOU RECEIVE
The Northern Circuit covers Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire — three entirely different ecosystems, each requiring different knowledge to experience properly. Your guide knows all three. Your route is designed around the season. Your camps are selected for their position — not their star count.
◆ THE THREE PARKS
◆ SERENGETI
1.5 million wildebeest. Lion prides on open plains. Cheetah hunts at dawn. The Serengeti delivers something extraordinary at every season — your guide knows which part delivers it best for your exact dates.
Dense wildlife in a self-contained ecosystem. Black rhino. Lion. Elephant. Flamingo. All within 260 square kilometres of ancient crater floor — an experience unlike anywhere else on earth.
Thousands of elephants. Ancient baobab trees. Fewer vehicles than any other Northern Circuit park. Tarangire is where your safari begins — and where most visitors wish they had spent more time.
◆ WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY
"We were positioned at the wildebeest crossing 40 minutes before it happened. No other vehicle was there. Edward had read the morning differently — and we watched 10,000 animals cross the Mara River in complete silence. I have no words for what that felt like."

"Ngorongoro at sunrise, before any other vehicle entered the crater. The guide knew exactly where the black rhino would be. Three hours later, we watched a lion hunt from 20 metres. This is what 20 years of experience looks like in the field."

The difference between a good Northern Circuit and an extraordinary one is not the parks — it is the knowledge of when to be where. Edward has tracked these landscapes for 20+ years. He knows which section of the Serengeti holds the cats in June, where the elephants gather in Tarangire in October, and how to enter Ngorongoro before the crowds arrive. That knowledge is your advantage in the field.
