Mid-Range Tanzania Safari

A mid-range Tanzania safari typically costs about $550–$990 per person per day. The final price depends on the season, the number of travellers, park fees, lodge choices and whether you include domestic flights or a Zanzibar extension. Travelling in shoulder or green season can stretch your budget further. Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris gives you a clear, itemised quote for your tailor-made itinerary, with no hidden extras.

The main difference between mid-range and luxury safaris is the style of accommodation and level of service, not the wildlife. Luxury camps often have more space, prime private locations and extra inclusions, while mid-range lodges offer comfortable rooms and good meals at lower cost. Both can include a private vehicle and guide. Many travellers mix the two, adding one special luxury stay to a mid-range trip.

Most mid-range Tanzania safaris include the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Lake Manyara, the highlights of the northern circuit. Shorter five-day trips may focus on Tarangire, the crater and central Serengeti, while longer itineraries add more Serengeti nights, respectful Lake Eyasi cultural visits or a relaxing beach stay in Zanzibar. We tailor the parks, lodges and route to your available travel time, budget and wildlife interests.

Yes, glamping is an excellent mid-range safari option for travellers who want to feel close to nature in comfort. Glamping camps use spacious canvas tents with proper beds and private bathrooms, so you hear the bush at night without roughing it. Our 5-day Tanzania glamping experience is designed around this style. We can include glamping stays in any private mid-range itinerary you choose, alone or alongside lodges.

A mid-range safari of five to seven days works well for most first-time visitors to Tanzania. Five days covers Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and the central Serengeti, while seven days allow a slower pace and more time with the migration. Ten or eleven days let you add Lake Eyasi or Zanzibar. We shape the length of your private tailor-made safari around your dates, budget and goals.
