A mid range safari sits between budget and luxury, using comfortable lodges or permanent tented camps with private bathrooms and good service, without the premium price tag of top end properties. It is a popular choice for travelers who want a solid, comfortable experience without paying for extras they may not need.
Mid range itineraries commonly combine Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, covering the core of the northern circuit. The exact combination can be adjusted depending on how many days you have and which parks matter most to you.
Yes, the parks and level of accommodation do not affect wildlife sightings, since the same game drives and guiding standards apply. Lion, elephant, and buffalo sightings are common in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, though we never guarantee sightings of any wild animal, including the rarer leopard and rhino.
Mid range safaris typically use a private 4×4 safari vehicle with a pop up roof for game viewing, arranged just for your own party. This gives you the same flexibility over pace and stops as a luxury trip, without the higher accommodation costs.
Accommodation usually means comfortable lodges or permanent tented camps with private ensuite bathrooms, reliable electricity, and decent food, without the extra frills of top tier luxury properties.
