Safari Definition

What Is a Serengeti Fly-In Safari?

A Serengeti Fly-In Safari is a Tanzania wildlife tour that uses scheduled domestic flights to transport travelers directly to an airstrip inside or close to Serengeti National Park.

Instead of spending most of the first and final safari days driving between Arusha and Serengeti, guests fly over northern Tanzania and arrive close to their selected wildlife area.

The flight is normally operated using a light aircraft that may stop at several safari airstrips before reaching the final destination. After landing, a guide from the selected camp or safari company meets the guests and begins the safari.

Fly-in packages are particularly useful for travelers visiting remote parts of Serengeti, including northern Serengeti during migration season, western Serengeti and seasonal southern Serengeti camps.

The Serengeti Fly-In Safari 2026-2027 can be arranged as a short three-day wildlife escape, a five-day luxury tour, a seven-day migration safari or part of a longer Tanzania and Zanzibar holiday.

Best For

  • Travelers who want to avoid long road transfers.
  • Guests with limited holiday time.
  • Luxury travelers seeking premium camps and lodges.
  • Couples and honeymooners.
  • Visitors combining Serengeti and Zanzibar.
  • Families preferring shorter transfer times.
  • Photographers carrying organized camera equipment.
  • Travelers visiting northern Serengeti.
  • Guests interested in seasonal migration camps.
  • Travelers booking premium Tanzania safaris in 2026-2027.
