Tanzania's
northern circuit is accessed
by scheduled flights, which
means less time getting from
A to B, and more for game
viewing. The Sopa Lodges
used on this safari are
located in some of the
parks' most sought-after
areas, so watching animals
is
always exciting. This
itinerary may also be
operated in reverse.
