3 Days Tanzania Fly-in Drive-out Safari to Serengeti Safari

This tour starts with a scenic flight from Arusha or Zanzibar directly into the heart of the national park to save time. By flying in, you skip the long initial drive and start your wildlife viewing almost immediately upon arrival at the bush airstrip. This efficient 3-day Serengeti fly-in safari ensures you spend more time with the animals and less time on the road.

On the final day, you will travel by road from the plains back to Arusha, passing through the beautiful Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This allows you to see the changing landscapes and high-altitude forests that you missed while flying into the park. It is a great way to complete your three-day journey by experiencing both the air and road perspectives of Northern Tanzania.

Accommodation is provided at high-quality tented camps or lodges located within the park boundaries for two nights. These sites offer a perfect blend of comfort and proximity to nature, allowing you to hear the sounds of the wild from your room. Staying inside the park for two nights maximizes your chances of seeing predators during their most active hours at dawn and dusk.

The Serengeti is one of the best places in the world to find lions, leopards, elephants, and buffaloes roaming freely. While the rhino is more elusive in the open plains, your expert guide will use their tracking skills to find as many of these iconic animals as possible. This 3-day Serengeti air and road tour focuses on the most wildlife-rich areas to enhance your viewing opportunities.

Since you will be using a small aircraft for the inbound leg, there is a strict weight limit of fifteen kilograms per person. We highly recommend using soft-sided bags rather than hard suitcases because they fit better in the plane's small cargo pod. If you have extra luggage, we can arrange for it to be stored safely in Arusha until you return by road.

A sunrise balloon safari is a popular extra activity that can be scheduled for your second morning in the park. This allows you to float over the savannah and watch the wildlife from above before enjoying a champagne breakfast in the bush. Adding this experience is a fantastic way to enhance your 3-day Serengeti fly-in safari.

The drive-out leg is conducted in a 4x4 Land Cruiser equipped with a pop-up roof for 360-degree viewing and photography. The vehicle features charging ports for your electronic devices and a small fridge stocked with cold bottled water and soft drinks. This ensures your comfort while you travel through the scenic highlands back to the city.

We provide full-board meals consisting of breakfast, picnic lunches, and hot multi-course dinners at your chosen accommodation. Fresh drinking water is always available in the vehicle during game drives to keep you hydrated. If you have specific dietary needs like vegan or gluten-free options, please let us know so our chefs can prepare suitable meals.

We can easily adjust the final day's schedule to include a stop at a traditional Maasai boma near the Ngorongoro area. This cultural visit offers a chance to learn about local traditions and see the vibrant lifestyle of the pastoralist tribes. It adds a wonderful human element to your Tanzania fly-in wildlife experience.

The total cost covers your one-way flight ticket to the Serengeti and all mandatory national park entry and transit fees. You will not need to handle any paperwork or payments at the gates as our team manages everything in advance. This allows you to enjoy a seamless transition from the aircraft to your safari vehicle without any hidden costs.
