Tanzania, known for its vast landscapes and numerous national parks, offers the convenience of fly-in safaris to save time and avoid long, taxing drives, particularly for destinations like Serengeti National Park. Local chartered flight companies provide various options, including scheduled flights on popular routes or private charters for individuals or small groups. Fly-in safaris are perfect for those looking to maximize their time at destinations while minimizing travel fatigue.
Fly Safari Options:
- Fly in, fly out
- Fly in, drive out
- Drive in, fly out
Optimal Fly-In Safari Experience in Tanzania: Combining fly-in safaris with game drives provides an efficient way to explore without the need for lengthy return drives. For example, after a tour of the Serengeti from Ngorongoro, you can directly fly to Zanzibar from the Serengeti instead of driving back to Ngorongoro.
Starting Points for Fly-In Safaris: Fly-in safaris can begin from major Tanzanian airports:
- Zanzibar: A well-known tourist hub with connections to most national parks.
- Dar es Salaam: The commercial center, offering flights to various airports and airstrips across Tanzania.
