Stay comfortably on a 5-day midrange lodge safari in Tanzania featuring guided game drives and accommodation near Nyerere and Mikumi national parks
A quick look at the tour style, experiences, travel months and accommodation for this package.
Choose comfort without entering the luxury price range on this 5-day midrange lodge safari in Nyerere and Mikumi national parks. Instead of sleeping at public campsites, you will stay in established lodges or permanent tented properties offering private sleeping areas, proper beds, bathroom facilities and prepared meals. This makes the package suitable for first-time safari travellers, couples, families and older guests who want to experience the wilderness but still need a comfortable place to shower and rest. Your journey will include several game drives in Nyerere, an overland transfer through southern Tanzania and a full day of wildlife viewing in Mikumi. Our guide will handle the daily road and park logistics, allowing you to concentrate on the animals, landscapes and overall safari experience.
5:30 AM–12:30 PM: Begin Your Lodge Safari

12:30 PM–3:00 PM: Lodge Welcome and Room Orientation
When you arrive, the lodge team will welcome you and show you to your room. Midrange standards vary by property, but your package will be based on private sleeping accommodation, a proper bed and private or ensuite bathroom facilities rather than public camping. You will enjoy lunch and have time to shower or rest before the game drive.
3:00 PM–6:00 PM: Afternoon Nyerere Wildlife Drive
