3-Day Serengeti Fly-In Safari Itinerary

Day 1: Zanzibar → Fly to Serengeti National Park → Afternoon Game Drive

Your Serengeti adventure begins in Zanzibar.

Depending on your confirmed arrangements, you will make your way to the airport or be collected from your Zanzibar accommodation for your transfer to the airport.

After check-in, board your scheduled safari flight from Zanzibar to the Serengeti.

Safari flights are normally operated using smaller aircraft, and your service may include intermediate stops depending on the day's flight routing.

As you approach the Serengeti, the beaches and Indian Ocean of Zanzibar are replaced by the vast landscapes of northern Tanzania.

Arrival in the Serengeti

Upon landing at the airstrip specified in your itinerary, your professional safari guide will be waiting to welcome you.

After a short safari briefing, you begin exploring Serengeti National Park.

There is no need to wait until the following morning for your safari to start. Depending on your arrival time and lodge location, the journey from the airstrip becomes part of your first game-viewing experience.

The Serengeti is characterized by expansive plains, kopjes, woodland and riverine habitats that support an extraordinary diversity of wildlife.

Day 2: Full-Day Serengeti National Park Safari

Wake up surrounded by the landscapes and sounds of the Serengeti.

After breakfast, depart with your guide for a full day of game viewing inside Serengeti National Park.

This is the main safari day of your itinerary, with no flight or transfer to another national park.

Exploring the Serengeti

Your exact game-drive route is not fixed in advance.

Wild animals move freely, and conditions change throughout the year. Your guide will therefore plan the day's route according to your location, recent wildlife activity, road conditions and seasonal movements.

This flexibility is an important part of a Serengeti safari.

You may spend time exploring open plains where herbivores gather, rocky kopjes that provide resting and observation points for predators, or areas of woodland and water where different species can be found.

Meals: Lunch & Dinner

Day 3: Morning Serengeti Game Drive → Seronera Airstrip → Fly to Zanzibar

Wake up for your final morning in Serengeti National Park.

After breakfast and check-out, depart with your guide for another game drive.

Rather than driving directly to the airstrip, the morning is used to enjoy your remaining safari time while gradually making your way toward Central Serengeti.

Final Serengeti Game Drive

Your guide will select the route according to available time and wildlife activity.

Central Serengeti's Seronera area contains a mixture of open grassland, riverine habitat, kopjes and woodland, providing opportunities to search for a variety of resident wildlife.

This final drive gives you another chance to photograph the landscapes and animals of the Serengeti before leaving the park.

Transfer to Seronera Airstrip

At the appropriate time, your guide will take you to Seronera Airstrip.

Here you say goodbye to your safari guide and check in for your scheduled flight.

Board your flight from Seronera Airstrip to Zanzibar.

Your exact departure time and routing will be confirmed according to the airline schedule applicable to your travel date.

Upon arrival in Zanzibar, continue with your arranged airport transfer or onward travel plans.

Important Information About Your Safari Flights

Safari flights are different from international commercial flights.

They generally use smaller aircraft designed to operate between airports and safari airstrips.

Your flight may make one or more stops before reaching your destination as passengers are collected or dropped off at different airstrips.

This is normal for scheduled safari flights in Tanzania.

Flight schedules and routings are subject to the operating airline's arrangements.

For this itinerary, your final safari day is planned around departure from Seronera Airstrip to Zanzibar.

Your confirmed ticket will provide the applicable check-in and departure information.

Safari Luggage

Small safari aircraft have baggage restrictions.

Your exact baggage allowance, dimensions and baggage requirements depend on the airline operating your flights.

Soft-sided luggage is generally more practical for small aircraft than large hard-shell suitcases.

We will provide the baggage conditions applicable to your confirmed flights before departure.

If you plan to leave a larger suitcase at your Zanzibar hotel while on safari, arrange and confirm storage directly with your accommodation.

When Is the Best Time for This Safari?

Serengeti National Park can be visited throughout the year.

However, the experience varies by season.

Wildlife movements, rainfall, vegetation and the location of the Great Migration can influence which part of the Serengeti is most appropriate for your safari.

Rather than selling exactly the same route throughout the year, we recommend planning the itinerary according to your actual travel dates.

If your main interest is the Great Migration, tell us your dates when enquiring so we can recommend the most appropriate Serengeti area.
