Tranquil Journeys Safaris offers fly-in safaris to these parks, as well as fly-in safaris by chartered light aircraft to non-operated parks.
Flying to the parks is a fast and comfortable way of traveling. Once there, you stay in lodges or tented camps, from where you do game drives into the bush to enjoy the wildlife.
Most fly-in safaris in northern Tanzania (to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire) start from Arusha Airport (ARK/HTAR) just outside Arusha. Some start from Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO/HTKJ) a 45-minute drive east of Arusha.
Fly-in safaris in southern Tanzania (to Selous, Ruaha, and Saadani) start from Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam (DAR/HTDA). Some flights operates the Bush from Zanzibar International Airport (ZNZ/HTZA) via Dar es Salaam.
These main airports have good connections with for example Europe, Zanzibar, and Nairobi, allowing for convenient itineraries.
Flying is a comfortable means of transport compared to safari vehicles on rough roads. It’s also much faster – Arusha to central Serengeti is an hour by air, and some 7 hours by road. In southern Tanzania, traveling to Selous and Ruaha by road takes even longer, and flying is the option preferred by most.
What you don’t get when flying is the experience of traveling the Tanzanian countryside and bush, passing through towns and villages, stopping to bargain for a bunch of local bananas, and smelling the soil. The aerial views cannot fully match the scenery along the road – especially northern Tanzania offers many stunning views. Some safari-goers mix is traveling by road and air, to get the benefits of both.
Arriving in the parks
Safari-goers arriving by air are met on the airstrip and driven to the lodge or camp for checking in. Should your flight be rerouted to a different airfield, the staff meeting, you go there, too.
The game viewing on fly-in safaris may be organized in two different ways. You may either join the game drives organized by the lodge or camp that you are staying in, or do game drives with a vehicle and guide from Tranquil Journeys Tours. The latter comes at a higher cost, and at the advantage of having a vehicle at your disposal for exclusive use, for outings, full-day game drives, etc.
Most scheduled safari flights operate some airstrips en route, but land only where passengers are to be picked up or dropped.
Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Tarangire in northern Tanzania have excellent flight services. Ngorongoro Airstrip is unreliable, as clouds and mist on the Ngorongoro Crater rim may prevent landing and take-off. If the strip is closed, the flights are rerouted to Lake Manyara Airstrip.
Southern Tanzania has scheduled flights to Selous, Ruaha, and Saadani.
Chartered light aircraft in Mikumi National Park.
Chartering an aircraft is mainly of interest if you prefer to travel independently or to visit parks that are not serviced by scheduled flights, for example; Mikumi or Katavi.
Some exclusive lodges and tented camps have their nearby airstrip for clients arriving by chartered flights.
The safari flights are operated by light aircraft. Most are a single propeller, such as the common Cessna Caravan, but dual propeller and turboprop aircraft are also seen. Small 4 to 6-seaters may be used for some chartered flights.
The bush airstrips in the parks are unpaved grass or dirt strips. Large parks, such as Serengeti and Selous, have several airstrips.
The bush airstrips don’t have customs or immigrations facilities, so direct safari flights from neighboring countries such as Kenya or Uganda into the Tanzanian parks are not possible.
Adamson’s Adventures offers fly-in safaris to all parks that have a dependable airstrip and accommodation facilities. Besides our set fly-in itineraries to the main parks, we can tailor an itinerary for you that includes those parks that you want to visit, the lodges or camps of your choice, chartered flights, etc.
