Our Fly In Serengeti Safari Packages are designed for travelers who want to spend more of their holiday watching wildlife and less time traveling long distances by road.

Instead of driving for many hours from Arusha or another destination, you can board a scheduled light aircraft and fly directly to an airstrip inside or close to the Serengeti. On arrival, your professional safari guide meets you with a 4×4 safari vehicle and your game-viewing adventure begins.

The Serengeti has several airstrips serving different regions of the ecosystem, including Seronera in Central Serengeti and airstrips serving northern, western and southern areas. Scheduled and private charter flights are used to reach these remote safari regions.

Fly-in safaris are particularly convenient for travelers combining a Tanzania wildlife safari with Zanzibar, travelers with limited vacation time, honeymoon couples, photographers and guests looking for a more comfortable safari experience.

Whether you want a short 2-day Serengeti fly-in safari, a classic three-day experience, a Great Migration safari or a longer luxury journey, Kilipath African Safaris can customize the itinerary around your dates, accommodation preference and wildlife interests.

Why Choose a Fly In Serengeti Safari?

Traveling by air transforms the way you experience Tanzania.

A conventional road safari can be a wonderful adventure, especially when several national parks are included. However, if Serengeti is your main priority, flying can save valuable travel time.

After landing at your Serengeti airstrip, you can continue directly into game viewing rather than spending most of the day driving to reach the park.

Main Benefits of a Serengeti Fly-In Safari

A fly-in package gives you:

• More time for Serengeti game drives
• Less time on long road transfers
• Spectacular aerial views of Tanzania’s landscapes
• Convenient connections with Zanzibar
• Access to remote Serengeti safari regions
• Flexible private safari itineraries
• Comfortable lodge and tented-camp options
• Excellent opportunities for wildlife photography
• Options for honeymoon and luxury travel
• Easy combinations with Ngorongoro Crater and other destinations

Tanzania’s official tourism information describes Serengeti as one of the country’s signature wildlife destinations and highlights the annual movement of wildebeest and zebra across its ecosystem.

Popular Fly In Serengeti Safari Packages

2-Day Fly In Serengeti Safari

A 2-day fly in Serengeti safari package is ideal for travelers with limited time, particularly those staying in Zanzibar before or after their safari.

Day 1: Fly to Serengeti – Afternoon Game Drive

Take a morning flight toward Serengeti National Park.

After landing at your designated airstrip, meet your professional safari guide and begin your first game drive.

Depending on your location and season, possible sightings include:

• Lions
• Elephants
• Giraffes
• Zebras
• Wildebeest
• Buffalo
• Cheetahs
• Hyenas
• Hippos
• Numerous bird species

Stop for lunch before continuing your afternoon wildlife viewing.

Later, drive to your safari lodge or tented camp for dinner and overnight.

Day 2: Serengeti Game Drive – Fly Out

Start early for another game drive when wildlife is particularly active.

Explore the plains, river systems, woodland or kopje areas around your chosen part of Serengeti before returning to the airstrip for your onward flight.

This option works particularly well as a Serengeti safari from Zanzibar.

3-Day Fly In Serengeti Safari

For most travelers, three days provides a more relaxed introduction to Serengeti.

Day 1: Flight to Serengeti and Game Drive

Fly into Serengeti and meet your private safari guide at the airstrip.

Begin your game drive immediately, exploring wildlife areas en route to your accommodation.

Dinner and overnight inside or close to Serengeti.

Day 2: Full-Day Serengeti Safari

After breakfast, spend the day exploring Serengeti National Park.

Your guide can adjust the day’s game-drive route according to wildlife movements, recent sightings and seasonal conditions.

You may encounter large prides of lions resting near rocky kopjes, elephants crossing open plains, cheetahs scanning grasslands or thousands of wildebeest moving through the ecosystem during migration periods.

A picnic lunch can allow you to remain in the park for much of the day.

Return to your camp for dinner and overnight.

Day 3: Morning Safari and Departure

Enjoy a final morning wildlife experience before transferring back to the airstrip.

Board your flight for Zanzibar, Arusha or another onward destination.

4-Day Fly In Serengeti Safari Package

A four-day safari gives travelers considerably more time to explore different landscapes and wildlife areas.

Day 1 – Fly Into Serengeti

Arrive by light aircraft, meet your guide and enjoy an afternoon game drive.

Day 2 – Full-Day Serengeti Game Drive

Spend a complete day exploring the Serengeti plains.

Day 3 – Explore Another Serengeti Region

Depending on the season, your safari may concentrate on Central, Northern, Western or Southern Serengeti.

Your itinerary can be adapted according to the wildlife concentrations and migration season.

Day 4 – Morning Game Drive and Fly Out

Enjoy one final game drive before transferring to the nearest appropriate airstrip for your onward flight.

Four days is an excellent option for wildlife photographers, honeymoon travelers and guests who prefer a slower safari pace.

Fly In Serengeti Safari From Zanzibar

Combining Zanzibar and Serengeti is one of the most attractive Tanzania holiday combinations.

You can spend several days relaxing on Zanzibar’s beaches and then travel by air to Tanzania’s most famous wildlife region without returning to Arusha for a long overland journey.

A typical itinerary can follow this pattern:

Zanzibar → Serengeti → Game Drives → Serengeti → Zanzibar

Alternatively:

Zanzibar → Serengeti → Ngorongoro Crater → Arusha/JRO

Exact flight routings and times depend on the travel date and airline schedule, so flights should be confirmed when the safari is booked.

Fly-in itineraries are especially useful for honeymooners wanting to combine a beach holiday with a short but high-quality wildlife safari.

Fly In Serengeti and Ngorongoro Safari

Travelers who have slightly more time can combine Serengeti with the Ngorongoro Crater.

This produces one of Tanzania’s strongest safari combinations.

For example:

Day 1

Fly to Serengeti and afternoon game drive.

Day 2

Full-day Serengeti safari.

Day 3

Morning Serengeti game drive followed by travel toward Ngorongoro/Karatu.

Day 4

Descend into Ngorongoro Crater for game viewing before continuing to Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport.

The Tanzania Tourism Board currently highlights itineraries combining Central Serengeti with Ngorongoro Crater, reflecting how naturally the two destinations work together in a northern Tanzania safari.

Fly In Serengeti Great Migration Safari

The Great Migration is one of the main reasons travelers choose Serengeti.

Huge numbers of wildebeest, accompanied by zebras and other herbivores, move through the Serengeti ecosystem in search of fresh grazing and water.

Because the herds move throughout the year, choosing the correct Serengeti region is extremely important.

Southern Serengeti and Ndutu

Generally popular during the green season when large herds gather around the southern plains and Ndutu ecosystem.

This period is particularly attractive for:

• Calving-season experiences
• Predator sightings
• Photography
• Large wildebeest concentrations

Central Serengeti

Central Serengeti is an excellent year-round safari destination.

Its varied habitat supports resident wildlife including big cats, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, antelopes and many other species.

Seronera Airstrip also makes Central Serengeti particularly convenient for fly-in safari itineraries.

Western Serengeti

During the migration’s seasonal progression, parts of the western corridor can become important wildlife-viewing areas.

Northern Serengeti

Northern Serengeti becomes particularly attractive when migration herds reach the region and river-crossing opportunities become possible.

For migration-focused trips, a fly-in safari can be especially valuable because aircraft can reach airstrips near the part of Serengeti most relevant to your itinerary.

However, river crossings and wildlife movements are natural events and cannot be guaranteed on a particular day.

Wildlife You Can See in Serengeti

Serengeti is famous for far more than the migration.

During your safari you may encounter:

Lions – Serengeti is outstanding big-cat country.

Cheetahs – Frequently associated with open grassland environments.

Leopards – Often more elusive and commonly searched for around woodland and river areas.

Elephants – Family groups can be observed across several Serengeti habitats.

Giraffes – One of the most recognizable animals of the Tanzanian savanna.

Wildebeest and Zebra – Famous for their enormous migratory herds.

Buffalo – Often found in substantial groups.

Hippos – Usually associated with pools and rivers.

Hyenas – Important predators and scavengers throughout the ecosystem.

Serengeti also offers outstanding birdlife, making it an excellent destination for birdwatchers and photographers.

Accommodation for Fly In Serengeti Safari Packages

We can arrange several accommodation categories depending on your budget.

Mid-Range Tented Camps

A good balance between comfort, location and safari atmosphere.

Facilities normally include proper beds, private bathroom facilities and restaurant/dining areas, depending on the selected camp.

Luxury Safari Camps

Luxury properties can provide spacious tents or suites, premium dining and highly personalized service.

They are ideal for:

• Honeymoons
• Anniversaries
• Special occasions
• Luxury Tanzania holidays

Migration Camps

Some safari camps are positioned seasonally to provide access to areas where migration activity is expected.

Your camp should therefore be selected according to your month of travel rather than simply choosing accommodation based on photographs.

Private 4×4 Safari Vehicle

After your flight reaches Serengeti, your guide will meet you and continue the safari in a 4×4 vehicle with a pop-up roof.

Private safaris give you additional flexibility with:

• Departure times
• Wildlife sightings
• Photography stops
• Lunch timing
• Game-drive duration

This is especially useful for photographers and couples wanting a more personalized safari.

Private 4×4 vehicles with professional guides are also a standard component of many Tanzania safari packages promoted through official tourism channels.

Serengeti Balloon Safari Add-On

Want to make your fly-in safari even more memorable?

Add a hot-air balloon safari.

Ballooning provides a completely different perspective over Serengeti’s landscapes, followed by the continuation of your regular game-drive itinerary.

TANAPA lists ballooning among available tourist activities in Serengeti, including operations in multiple areas of the park.

Advance booking is strongly recommended, particularly during busy travel periods.

What’s Included?

Your exact package may vary, but a typical fly-in Serengeti safari can include:

• Domestic bush flights specified in your itinerary
• Airport/airstrip transfers
• Private 4×4 safari vehicle
• Professional English-speaking safari guide
• Serengeti park fees
• Game drives
• Safari accommodation
• Meals according to itinerary
• Drinking water during game drives
• Government taxes and applicable safari fees

Official tourism-board safari packages similarly list elements such as private 4×4 transportation, professional guiding, park entrance fees, accommodation, meals and game drives among standard package components where specified.

What’s Not Included?

Unless specifically added to your quotation:

• International flights
• Tanzania visa
• Travel insurance
• Guide gratuities
• Personal expenses
• Laundry
• Premium or alcoholic drinks
• Optional balloon safari
• Additional activities not mentioned in the itinerary

Best Time for a Fly In Serengeti Safari

The Serengeti can be visited throughout the year.

TANAPA describes it as a year-round destination, with different areas offering different seasonal experiences.

Instead of asking only, “What is the best month?”, it is better to ask:

What do I want to see?

If migration wildlife is your priority, we will recommend the most suitable Serengeti region according to your travel period.

If big cats, classic landscapes and general wildlife viewing are your priority, Central Serengeti can be an excellent choice during many months of the year.

Honeymoon Couples
