Our Private Domestic Flights in Tanzania

Avoid long road transfers and maximize your time exploring the breathtaking landscapes,
diverse wildlife, and pristine beaches. Our private domestic flights offer a fast and
comfortable way to reach your destination. 

Zanzibar Selous Game Reserve/Nyerere National Park

In the south of Tanzania, Nyerere National Park, located in Selous Game Reserve, is the largest national park in Africa. Hundreds of species of plants, mammals, and birds. A tower of giraffes galloping over the plains, a herd of gazelles grazing, a pride of lions sunbathing, a gang of buffaloes staring at you, a flock of rollers passing by… and last but not least, Selous is one of the few sites where you still can find several packs of African wild dogs.

A boat safari on the majestic Rufiji River, brings you close to the hippos, crocs, and birdlife, and is a must-do activity.

Flight time:

  • Cessna Caravan - 50 minutes
  • Embraer EMB 120 - 30 minutes
Zanzibar Serengeti Seronera Arusha

World’s best known national park, a World Heritage site since 1979, the habitat of thousands of buffaloes, wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, elephants and giraffes. All being watched by lions, cheetahs and leopards.

The annual Migration over the “endless plains” (the meaning of “Serenget” in Maa, the language of the Maasai) is a once in a lifetime experience, not to be missed. The massive number of wildebeests and zebras is one of the most impressive things to see.

Flight time: 90 minutes

Zanzibar Serengeti Seronera Arusha Zanzibar

When we fly from Serengeti National Park, Seronera airstrip, to Zanzibar, we have a brief stop at Arusha airport. For guests coming back from safari, on the way to Zanzibar, the ideal opportunity to catch a flight to the beach.
