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

By utilizing light aircraft to travel directly from Arusha or Zanzibar, you bypass the long drive on dusty roads. This means you can be out on a game drive within an hour of landing at the bush airstrip. It is the most efficient way to experience the vast plains when you have a limited schedule.

You are likely to encounter the famous Big Five including lions, leopards, and elephants roaming across the golden savannah. Since the park is so vast, your guide will focus on areas with high predator activity and large herds of wildebeest or zebras. This timeframe is perfect for witnessing the raw beauty of the African wilderness in a concentrated period.

We typically book luxury or mid-range tented camps that offer a true immersion in nature without sacrificing comfort. These camps feature en-suite bathrooms, comfortable beds, and private verandas overlooking the park. Sleeping in a tented camp allows you to hear the sounds of the bush while remaining completely safe and pampered.

Yes, the small aircraft used for these transfers have a strict weight limit of fifteen kilograms per person. It is essential to use soft-sided duffel bags because they fit much better into the small luggage pods of the planes. If you have extra baggage, we can arrange for it to be stored securely at our office in Arusha until your return.

A sunrise balloon flight is a spectacular extra activity that can be scheduled for your second morning in the park. You will float over the migration and end the experience with a luxury champagne breakfast in the middle of the savannah. This is a highly recommended addition for anyone looking to see the ecosystem from a unique perspective.

We can alter the departure points and times to better fit your international flight schedule or onward travel plans. If you wish to fly in from Arusha and fly out to Zanzibar, we can easily adjust the logistics to make it seamless. Private charters are also available for groups who prefer a more exclusive and flexible travel experience.

All national park entry fees, transit permits, and conservation taxes are included in the total price of your tour. You will also enjoy full-board meals consisting of breakfast, picnic lunches, and multi-course dinners at your camp. Bottled water is provided throughout the day in the safari vehicle and at the accommodation to keep you hydrated.

Upon arrival at the bush airstrip, you will be met by a customized 4x4 Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof for optimal viewing. These vehicles are designed for the rugged terrain and offer plenty of space for every passenger to have a window seat. Each car is equipped with a radio for communication and charging ports for your camera batteries.

The dry season from June to October offers the most consistent wildlife sightings as animals gather around permanent water sources. However, the green season between December and March is incredible for seeing the calving herds and vibrant birdlife. Each month offers a unique charm, and flying in ensures you reach the best areas regardless of the weather.

Most of the camps and lodges we use provide Wi-Fi in the common lounge or dining areas for guest use. While the connection may be slower than in the city, it is usually enough to send messages or share a few photos with friends. This allows you to stay connected while still enjoying the peaceful isolation of the African bush.
