6-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti Safari with Malaika Mara
Why this Package
A predator-first 6-Day safari tour: explore the North Serengeti and Central Serengeti while enjoying the comforts of a mid-range and upper mid-range experience. This itinerary is ideal for both first-time and repeat safari-goers, offering a unique blend of adventure and relaxation.
Your journey begins in the North Serengeti at the Malaika Mara Luxury Camp, a seasonal camp perfectly positioned for witnessing the breathtaking Great Migration and dramatic river crossings. Here, you can enjoy hearty meals, including picnic breakfasts and communal dinners that blend Swahili and international flavors. Your accommodation features comfortable canvas tents with en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a cozy retreat after a day of thrilling game drives.
Access to the Mara River crossings is conveniently close, with transfer times ranging from just 15 to 40 minutes, allowing for maximum wildlife viewing opportunities. As you watch the sun set over the savannah, the campfire ambiance creates a perfect setting for sharing stories of the day’s adventures.
Next, you’ll head to the Central Serengeti and stay at the Tukaone Hembe Serengeti Camp. This mid-range tented camp is ideal for those seeking reliable predator sightings without the higher costs of luxury lodges. Meals here are simple yet hearty, featuring packed lunches and communal dinners that emphasize filling safari staples. The Meru-style tents provide essential comfort with en-suite bathrooms and a shared mess tent for socializing with fellow travelers.
Being centrally located means you can take advantage of early morning and late afternoon game drives, maximizing your chances of spotting the Big Five and other wildlife. With a short transfer time from the Seronera Airstrip, your safari experience is both seamless and enriching.
This 6-day safari offers a perfect balance of adventure and comfort, making it an unforgettable experience in Tanzania’s iconic landscapes.

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.
