What is a "Fly-In Drive-Out" safari?
You begin by taking a domestic flight from Arusha or Zanzibar directly to a Serengeti airstrip. After your stay, you drive back through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, allowing you to see different landscapes and parks on the return journey.
Does the flight have luggage restrictions?
Yes. For safety on small aircraft, there is a strict limit of 15kg (33 lbs) per person, and bags must be soft-sided (duffel style) to fit in the cargo pod.
What are the benefits of flying into the park?
It saves nearly a full day of travel. Instead of driving 7–8 hours to reach the Serengeti, you arrive in about 50 minutes, allowing for a mid-morning game drive on your very first day.
Is the flight scenic?
Absolutely. You’ll get a "birds-eye" view of the Great Rift Valley, the Ngorongoro Highlands, and the endless plains of the Serengeti—an incredible photo opportunity.
Will I have the same guide for the whole trip?
Usually, your dedicated driver-guide will meet you at the Serengeti airstrip with your private 4x4 vehicle and stay with you for the duration of the 3 days, including the drive back.
Where do we spend the nights?
This luxury package typically includes one night in a high-end Serengeti tented camp and one night at a luxury lodge on the Ngorongoro Crater rim.
Is the drive back to Arusha very long?
While the drive is longer than the flight, it is broken up by a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater and stops at Maasai villages or viewpoints, making it an immersive cultural experience.
What kind of aircraft are used?
We partner with reputable bush airlines like Regional Air or Coastal Aviation, using well-maintained Cessna Grand Caravans or similar turboprop aircraft.
Is this safari suitable for people with motion sickness?
The flight is short and smooth, but if you are sensitive to small planes, we recommend morning flights when the air is coolest and calmest.
Can I fly in from Zanzibar instead of Arusha?
Yes! We can easily arrange a flight from Zanzibar to the Serengeti for Day 1, then you drive out to Arusha on Day 3 to catch your flight home or back to the island.
