Serengeti Safari Tours
Encompassing 15,750 square kilometres of grasslands, savanna, riverine forests and kopjes, the Serengeti is one of the world’s most iconic safari destinations. It provides the backdrop to the Great Wildebeest Migration when millions of wildebeest and zebras make the long journey north in pursuit of fresh grazing pastures while being pursued by large numbers of big predators.
The Serengeti National Park is home to approximately 70 large mammals, including the “Big Five”, hippos, impala and Maasai giraffe. Vervet monkeys, olive baboons and black-and-white colobus also inhabit the lush forests along the Grumeti River while more than 500 species of birds have been recorded within the park’s bounds.
Together with Loliondo Game Controlled Area, the Ngorongoro Crater, the Maswa Game Reserve, the Grumeti Game Controlled Area, the Ikorongo Game Controlled Area, and the Masai Mara National Reserve, the Serengeti forms part of the 35,000-square-kilometre Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. Aside from daily game drives and guided walks, its spectacular landscapes can also be experienced from the air during a once-in-a-lifetime hot air balloon safari.

Getting There
Most guests connect through one of four international airports:
Kilimanjaro (JRO) is the main gateway to northern Tanzania. Flights arriving before midday can usually connect to the Serengeti the same day, with a flight time of 45 minutes to 1 hour. Earlier arrivals may transfer overland to Arusha Airport for a 1:00 PM departure.
Nairobi (NBO), Kenya is a major hub with onward flights to Kilimanjaro, or direct Serengeti connections for early arrivals.
Arusha (ARK) offers daily light-aircraft departures throughout the morning, with the last flight around 1:00 PM and a flight time of 30 to 45 minutes.
Dar es Salaam (DAR)** allows early arrivals to fly direct to the Serengeti (roughly 2 hours) or connect via Kilimanjaro.
If a same-day connection is not possible, we are glad to arrange overnight accommodation and transfers in Arusha or Nairobi.
Charter Flights
For maximum flexibility, private charters connect directly to any airstrip at any time during daylight hours, with no additional stops.
Light Aircraft and Luggage
Regional flights are operated by carriers such as Air Excel, Auric Air, Coastal Aviation, Flightlink, and Regional Air, using Cessna Grand Caravans that seat 9 to 13 passengers. Luggage is limited to 15 kg (33 lbs) per person and must be packed in a soft-sided bag.
