A fly-in Tanzania safari is one of the fastest, most comfortable and exciting ways to explore the country’s famous wildlife destinations. Instead of spending many hours driving between parks, travelers use scheduled or chartered light-aircraft flights to reach remote airstrips near safari lodges and tented camps.

This style of safari is particularly suitable for honeymooners, families, photographers, luxury travelers and visitors with limited vacation time. Popular routes connect Arusha, Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam with destinations such as Serengeti National Park, Nyerere National Park, Ruaha National Park and other remarkable wildlife areas.
