Why Choose a Fly-In Serengeti Safari?

A Fly-In Serengeti Safari with Capable Africa Tours offers a seamless, luxurious, and time-efficient way to experience Tanzania’s world-renowned Serengeti National Park. Spanning 14,750 square kilometers, the Serengeti is a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for the Great Wildebeest Migration, where over 2 million wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles traverse the plains, alongside predators like lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

Unlike traditional road safaris, fly-in safaris maximize your time in the wilderness by eliminating long drives. With direct flights from Arusha (1-1.5 hours), Zanzibar (2 hours), or Dar es Salaam (2.5 hours), you’ll land at one of Serengeti’s airstrips, such as Seronera or Kogatende, and dive straight into your adventure. Stay in luxury lodges or tented camps, enjoy gourmet meals, and explore with expert guides in 4x4 vehicles.

Our fly-in safaris are perfect for travelers seeking comfort, exclusivity, and breathtaking aerial views of Tanzania’s landscapes. Whether you’re chasing the dramatic Mara River crossings or the calving season’s newborn herds, Capable Africa Tours crafts personalized itineraries to match your schedule and interests.
