About these trips
Fly-in safaris use small scheduled aircraft that hop between bush airstrips. You land where the wildlife is, meet your guide on the strip and can be on a game drive within minutes. It is the only realistic way to reach Ruaha, Katavi and Mahale, and the perfect choice when time is short.

Questions travellers ask
How much does a fly-in trip in Tanzania cost?
Our fly-in safaris start from $1,790 per person sharing. The final price depends on dates, group size and the camps you choose. Every quote is all-inclusive of park fees, transfers and meals listed in the itinerary.
Can I change one of these fly-in itineraries?
Yes. These are sample routes. We can add or remove days, change camps, upgrade a night or two, or combine trips. Tell us what you would like and we will send a revised plan.
When is the best time to go?
June to October is the dry season and best for most parks. January to March is excellent in the Serengeti (calving season) and on Zanzibar. April and May are the long rains — quieter and cheaper, with some camps closed.
