6-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti Safari with Hippo Trails Camp
Why this Package
Grumeti’s May–Jun pulse fits neatly after crater and Central time in a 6-Day safari tour plan. Experience the stunning landscapes and wildlife of Tarangire, the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, and the vast expanses of the Serengeti while enjoying the comforts of mid-range and upper mid-range lodges.
Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its majestic elephants and striking baobab trees. After a day of exploring, you’ll retreat to the cozy atmosphere of Suricata Boma Lodge in Karatu, where spacious cottages and a youthful vibe await. Delight in hearty meals made from locally sourced ingredients, perfect for fueling your safari days.
Next, venture into the heart of the Central Serengeti and stay at Hippo Trails Camp. Nestled near the Seronera River Valley, this mid-range tented camp offers prime access to big cats and hippos, ensuring you are in the right place for unforgettable wildlife encounters. Enjoy communal dinners and picnic breakfasts that enhance your immersive experience in the wild.
Your journey continues to the West Serengeti, where you can witness the Great Wildebeest Migration in action, a spectacle that captivates all who witness it. Finally, conclude your safari at the Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge, where comfort meets elegance among lush coffee estates. With a swimming pool and spa, this upper mid-range lodge provides a relaxing atmosphere after days filled with adventure.
Throughout your safari, you’ll benefit from the convenience of well-placed lodges that allow for easy access to prime wildlife viewing areas. This itinerary is ideal for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers looking to deepen their experience in Tanzania's breathtaking landscapes.
Mix of mid-range and upper mid-range Tanzania Safari
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.
