About this experience
Skip the long drives and fly straight to the wild
A fly-in safari is the most efficient and comfortable way to experience Tanzania's legendary wildlife, especially if you are short on time or combining a safari with a beach holiday in Zanzibar. Rather than spending full days driving on dusty highways and bumpy roads, you board a light aircraft and fly directly to park airstrips. Our fly-in safaris connect Zanzibar and Arusha directly to the Serengeti plains and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We offer structured 3 to 6-day itineraries, featuring private 4x4 vehicles and guides waiting for you at the airstrip, excellent lodge accommodations, and all logistics managed seamlessly.
