For travellers short on time. Light aircraft replace every long road transfer, so five days deliver roughly the game viewing of an eight day driving safari. A vehicle and guide meet each aircraft at the airstrip.
Morning flight from Arusha to the Seronera airstrip, roughly 75 minutes with spectacular Rift Valley views. Met by your guide for an afternoon game drive.
Dawn to dusk in the central Serengeti with a picnic lunch in the field.
Short hop to the airstrip nearest the herds, north to Kogatende or south to Ndutu, and a full day of game viewing.
Morning game drive, then a flight to Lake Manyara airstrip and transfer to the crater rim for the evening.
Early crater descent, picnic lunch on the floor, then a short transfer to Arusha or Kilimanjaro International.
