Why this order?
The northern circuit keeps Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro in one safari chapter before the trip changes pace completely in Stone Town and on the Zanzibar coast. That avoids repeated switches between wildlife drives and beach logistics.
Evidence and limits
Tanzania Tourist Board materials group Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti as the northern safari circuit and separately highlight Stone Town and Zanzibar beach experiences. The 14-day night allocation is IKARU editorial pacing; confirm park order, wildlife season, road or flight logistics, ferry or air transfers, and current official advice with the selected operator.
