About this experience
Comfortable lodges, private guides, real value
A mid-range safari with us gives you the same routes, the same private guide and vehicle, and the same level of personal attention as our luxury safaris - the difference is in the lodge tier. We work with a tight portfolio of mid-range properties across the northern circuit that we have vetted personally: comfortable en-suite tents and rooms, good food, warm hospitality, and excellent guiding. Most of our mid-range safaris fall between $4,000 and $7,000 per person sharing for a 7-day northern circuit, depending on the season and the lodges. That includes everything - all meals, park fees, transfers, flying where it makes sense - with no hidden costs along the way.
When to go
The sweet spot between value and spectacle
Mid-range safaris balance authentic tented camps with high wildlife encounters. Year-round availability means you can match your budget to peak migration or emerald season landscapes.
