Explore Tanzania’s Wild Beauty with Ease and Style
Tanzania’s fly-in/out safari experience offers an exceptional way to access the country’s most remote and wildlife-rich parks with comfort and efficiency. Instead of long hours on rough roads, you’ll take short flights between destinations, giving you more time in the wild and less time in transit.
From the iconic Serengeti plains to the untouched southern reserves, a fly-in/out safari is perfect for travelers who want a seamless and immersive journey across Tanzania’s vast and varied landscapes.
Why Choose a Fly-In/Out Safari in Tanzania?

Avoid bumpy roads and long transfers. Ideal for travelers who value time, comfort, or have limited days to explore. - More Time on Game Drives
With faster transfers, you gain more hours in the parks—maximizing your wildlife experiences and photographic opportunities. - Flexible Itinerary Planning
Fly-in/out options allow for creative and efficient safari combinations, including multi-park adventures or beach extensions.
Top Family Safari Destinations in Tanzania
- Serengeti National Park
Easily reached by scheduled or chartered flights from Arusha or Zanzibar. Fly into different regions of the park depending on the season and the wildlife movement. - Nyerere National Park (Selous)
Located in southern Tanzania and best accessed by air. Known for boat safaris, walking safaris, and remote game viewing in pristine wilderness. - Ruaha National Park
Tanzania’s largest park with few crowds and dramatic scenery. A fly-in safari here offers a true sense of isolation and discovery. - Katavi and Mahale Mountains
Far in the west, these parks are rarely seen by road visitors. Katavi offers raw big game viewing, while Mahale is known for chimpanzee trekking on the shores of Lake Tanganyika.
Optional Safari Extensions

Combine your wildlife journey with a relaxing escape to Zanzibar. After your safari, fly directly to the island for white-sand beaches, coral reefs, and Swahili culture. - Northern Circuit Add-Ons
Customize your itinerary by flying between locations like Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and Ngorongoro before heading to the Serengeti. - Southern Circuit Combinations
Pair Nyerere and Ruaha via air transfers for an off-the-beaten-path safari with excellent big cat and elephant sightings.
