Skip the long drives — land on a bush airstrip beside the herds
A flying safari swaps dusty road transfers for scenic hops in a light aircraft, landing on bush airstrips minutes from camp. It is the smartest way to reach Tanzania's remote southern and western parks — and the views alone are worth it.
Tanzania is vast — driving from Arusha to the far Serengeti takes most of a day, and reaching Katavi or Mahale by road is measured in days, not hours. On a flying safari, scheduled or chartered light aircraft link the parks directly: breakfast in Arusha, lunch beside the Mara River, sundowners watching elephants from your veranda.
Flying also unlocks the wild south and west: Ruaha's great elephant herds and lion prides, Nyerere's boat safaris along the Rufiji River, the remote floodplains of Katavi, and the chimpanzee forests of Mahale on Lake Tanganyika. These parks receive a fraction of the north's visitors, and flying in is simply how they are done.
Every flight doubles as a scenic tour — the Rift Valley escarpment, Kilimanjaro rising above the clouds, the Serengeti stretching to every horizon. Luggage is limited to 15kg in soft bags (laundry is included at camps, so pack light), and we coordinate every transfer so the aircraft, vehicle and camp connect seamlessly.

15kg per person in soft-sided bags, including hand luggage. This is strictly enforced on light aircraft. All camps offer same-day laundry, so packing light is easy — and we can store extra luggage in Arusha for your return.
