4-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti Tour with Malaika Mara
Why this Package
Central Serengeti anchors the sightings; the North Serengeti adds the big set pieces—fitted into this 4-Day safari tour. Experience the thrill of the Serengeti while enjoying the comforts of well-appointed lodges. Your adventure begins in Arusha, where you will take a scenic flight to the heart of the Serengeti. Here, you will spend one night at Africa Safari Serengeti Ikoma, a mid-range lodge-style camp located on the border of the Western Serengeti. This camp is ideal for those seeking affordability without sacrificing proximity to migration routes, particularly in June–July and October.
At Ikoma, you can indulge in hearty buffet breakfasts, picnic lunches for your daily drives, and delicious buffet or plated dinners featuring international cuisine with local Swahili touches. The lodge offers comfortable thatched safari rooms and tents, each equipped with en-suite bathrooms, mosquito nets, and private verandas. After a day of exploration, unwind by the pool or in the lounge area.
Your journey continues to the North Serengeti, where you will stay at Malaika Mara Luxury Camp. This upper mid-range seasonal camp is perfectly positioned for witnessing the Great Migration, especially during the river crossings from July to October. Enjoy early teas, picnic breakfasts, and communal dinners that blend Swahili and international flavors. The canvas tents provide a cozy retreat with hardwood floors, en-suite bathrooms, and inviting verandas, allowing you to connect with nature.
With short transfer times to key migration points, Malaika Mara ensures you won’t miss the spectacular river crossings. This 4-Day safari is perfect for first-time visitors eager to experience the wonders of the Serengeti while enjoying a mix of comfort and adventure.

Book with the Right Tour Operator
Each safari company has its own strengths — some specialize in luxury safaris, some in mid-range, and some in budget trips. Their expertise depends on years of experience in specific price categories, the quality of their guides and vehicles, and the lodge partnerships they’ve built over time. None of this is visible on websites or forums, which is why NMT connects you directly with the operators best suited to your safari tier.
