Fly-in Safari Tanzania
Tanzania is a large country with many beautiful national parks spread across different regions. Traveling by road to these parks, especially some remote ones like Serengeti, can be tiring and sometimes uncomfortable due to long, bumpy, and dusty paths. However, there’s a much easier way to explore the parks by flying! With Tanzania’s fly-in safaris, you can skip the long drives and fly directly into the national park of your choice. After a short flight, you can start your game drives and enjoy the wildlife right away. You can even fly out to the city, visit Zanzibar Islands, or explore the coast of Tanzania after your safari. Fly-in safaris provide a quicker and more convenient way to experience the best of Tanzania’s wildlife and landscapes. (Check out our fly safari packages for more details.)
Fly-in Safari, Flight Options
Some local charter flight companies offer scheduled flights to and from the national park airstrips, with daily flights on popular routes. For certain routes, a minimum of two seats may be required to confirm the flight. Alternatively, if you prefer more flexibility, you can hire a private charter flight for yourself or a small group, offering a more personalized and convenient travel experience.

Optimum Fly-in Safari, Tanzania
The best way to make the most of fly-in safaris in Tanzania is by combining them with your game drives, so you don’t have to spend time driving long distances back.

This way, you save time and avoid long, tiring drives, allowing you to enjoy more of your safari experience and easily move between destinations.
