6-Day Fly in Serengeti Migration Mid Range Safari

Each year during the Great Migration, huge herds of wildebeest & their entourage congregate on one side of Mara River. It may take a while (sometimes up to a few days) before a brave individual dares to cross the river, the rest will then follow suit. More than 1.5 million wildebeest trek from Serengeti to Masai Mara and back in search of fresh grazing. Their crossing of Mara River is the climax of this odyssey, a spectacle filled with drama, death and endeavour. The best of safari experiences.

About mid-range safaris

Mid-range safaris in Tanzania: comfort without excess

A mid-range safari in Tanzania keeps everything that makes the trip — a private 4×4 Land Cruiser, a trained professional guide and full days in the parks — and stays in mid-range lodges and tented camps that give real comfort without excessive cost.

Our mid-range packages cover the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, the Great Migration and the Ndutu calving season, with fly-in options and Zanzibar beach extensions. Each one is a starting point: we tailor the route and the lodges to your dates and budget.

Mid-range safaris in Tanzania generally cost $450–$850 per person per day in 2026, between budget safaris ($250–$350) and luxury safaris ($900–$1,800+). The lodges, park fees, the vehicle and the season make the difference. Each package shows its own price from, per person — see our Tanzania safari prices guide.

Private or group joining

A private safari gives you your own vehicle and guide and full flexibility — ideal for families, couples and photographers. Group safaris lower the cost by sharing the guide and the vehicle. We run both: compare them in group joining or private tours.

The green season, March to May, has the best discounts and fewer crowds. January–February and November balance value with excellent game viewing; June to October is the high season of the Great Migration. Want more comfort? See our luxury safaris.

What travellers say

Word for word from Tripadvisor

Namibia, Uganda & Zanzibar

We had a wonderful experience with WildPride Safaris. The trip was memorable and thoughtfully planned, and when a few challenges arose with contracted providers, the WildPride team stepped in quickly and helped navigate everything smoothly. Special thanks to Andrew in Namibia and Dan in Uganda for their professionalism, deep knowledge, and leadership throughout the journey. Lilian and Sylvia were incredibly helpful and responsive, ensuring issues were addressed and the overall experience remained positive and enjoyable. A great safari experience overall, and I would absolutely recommend WildPride Safaris.

Blown away by how many animals we got to see upclose

Unforgettable experience with Wild Pride Safaris! Elisante and Lillian made it seamless and truly special. Our driver, "Eli" was always prompt, explained what to expect and spotted so many animals that we would have missed if not for him. He was the best driver anyone could ever find and made us comfortable the entire time. Thank you! Lillian was very responsive and so helpful with both pre and post trip information. They made our once in a lifetime experience memorable.

Everything we wanted and expected

From the very beginning, Lilian was super responsive, thoughtful, and clear regarding different itinerary options. She offered great insights and suggestions without being "pushy" and helped us quickly determine the tour that made the most sense for us. All of the communications were professional, timely, and incredibly clear. We were frankly "blown away" with the extremely high quality of all of the email responses from Lilian. She was always positive, encouraging, and eager to help. Once we arrived in Arusha, the tour was everything promised. We were met by our driver/guide (Elisante) who was similarly professional, courteous, and eager to help. Once again, we were incredibly pleased and appreciative of everything Elisante did to help us enjoy our safari experience. First, we were suitably pleased with his excellent driving - careful, diligent, good pace, and always alert - especially in comparison to some of the driving we witnessed from others. Second, he had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife - almost as if he knew what was coming. Third, he was extremely knowledgeable about the area, roads, and where to find the wildlife - provided great insights and responses to the many questions we posed to him. We saw everything we wanted - had some incredible interactions and got some amazing photos. Last, but not least, his positive and pleasant disposition was refreshing - he was always smiling and helpful. Overall, we had a phenomenal experience and would highly recommend Wild Pride Safaris based on our experience. First class!

Incredible tour operator - thank you so much!

WildPride organised the most incredible three weeks for our honeymoon and we couldn’t have had a better service! From our initial contact with Lilian who tailored our trip from day one, making lots of little tweaks for us to ensure it was exactly what we wanted to all of the amazing people on the way… Danny, Eduardo, Peter our safari driver, Good luck and anyone we haven’t mentioned… everyone was such an incredible part of the trip! Booking a safari is a lot to try and organise and we wouldn’t have been able to do it and have such a perfect time if it wasn’t for Wild Pride. Knowledge and recommendations were second to none and made it a seamless time in Africa! Also the little gifts and personalised tyre covers made it such a special memory. Thanks again to you all, we couldn’t recommend you enough!

Amazing Wild Pride Safari and beach holiday

Amazing Safari and beach family holiday with Wild Pride. Our guide Andrew was fantastic and everything was perfectly arranged. We couldn’t have asked for better.

Loveliest safari

Thank you for an absolutely amazing and thorough experience across the national parks. Hussein's calm demeanor, safe and careful driving, extensive knowledge of the parks and animals within it made the experience relaxing, interesting, fun and informative. The next clients will be lucky to have him as their guide.

Absolutely amazing schedule and connection with the bush

It was absolutely amazing the schedule was fantastic not rushed and being able to experience the true feeling of nature. The places where we stayed were fantastic as they were connected with the bush as people call it as we were in tent lodges which the animals come close but also a large sense of luxury as they cared about everything and very comfortable and at the last place we stayed as they decide was the best of them all as we could see the sunset and sunrise which was beautiful.

Excellent experience

We had a wonderful experience with Wild Pride. Lilian was extremely helpful and responsive while planning our trip. Every detail was arranged. Our driver/guide, Lazaro, was knowledgeable, prompt and friendly. I would book again without hesitation.

Perfekt organisierte Safari mit super Guide

Wir sind schon zum 2. Mal mit Wild Pride Safaris und Ally als Guide unterwegs! Alles ist perfekt organisiert und es wurden wieder schöne Lodges ausgesucht. Ally ist der beste Guide, den man sich vorstellen kann,sehr umsichtig, hat uns an die besten Plätze gebracht und alle Tiere aufgespürt, die es zu sehen gab, dabei aber sehr respektvoll mit den Tieren und der Natur, er hat großes Wissen über Flora und Fauna, spricht sehr gut Englisch

High quality safari experience, with exceptional guides and seamless planning.

We had the pleasure of going on our honeymoon with Wild Pride Safari, and it was a 5-day adventure through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater that we will never forget. From the very beginning, planning the trip with Lilian was an absolute breeze. She was incredibly helpful in suggesting activities, finding the best hotels, arranging flights to fit our schedule, and creating a smooth and well-thought-out itinerary. We were very happy with the hotels we stayed in, but the real highlight of the trip was Ali, our tour guide. If he’s available, I highly recommend booking your safari with him! Ali was an excellent driver, extremely knowledgeable, and had the eyes of an eagle for spotting wildlife. Thanks to him, we captured incredible photos and videos that we’ll cherish forever. He went above and beyond to make our safari an unforgettable journey. With Wild Pride Safari, you’re not just supporting a local company, but you’re also getting a high-quality experience while saving some money compared to bigger-name tours. I’m confident you’ll have a fantastic time with them!
