Getting Around: Vehicles & Flights

Travel through Tanzania's national parks in a private 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser, accompanied by your own expert guide. Every vehicle is designed for comfort, wildlife viewing and photography, with thoughtful details that make each game drive more enjoyable.

• Built for the bush: Robust 4x4 Toyota Land Cruisers, equipped to handle Tanzania's varied park roads.
• More space, better views: A maximum of four to five guests per vehicle, rather than six as with many other operators, giving everyone more room and a clearer view of the wildlife.
• Made for wildlife photography: An extended cabin and pop-up roof let you stand comfortably for unobstructed views and exceptional photo opportunities.
• Refreshments on board: Chilled water, wine, beer and soft drinks are ready to enjoy along the way.
• Stay charged: In-vehicle power outlets keep your cameras and phones ready for the next unforgettable sighting.
• More time in the wild: Picnic breakfasts and lunches in the bush mean you can spend more time on game drives, without returning to camp for meals.
• All taken care of: Your vehicle, fuel, park permits and licensing, and vehicle maintenance are included in your tour price. Private vehicles can also be arranged, giving your group its own guide and the freedom to explore at your own pace.

Skip the long, bumpy drive and spend more time in the wild. We arrange scheduled light-aircraft flights with Auric Air and Flightlink, two Tanzanian airlines serving airstrips in and around the country's national parks.

We use these flights to connect Arusha with the northern, central and southern Serengeti, as well as Zanzibar and Mafia Island. For chimpanzee trekking in Gombe National Park, we arrange flights to Kigoma, followed by a boat journey along the shores of Lake Tanganyika to the park.

• Scenic flights over Tanzania: Travel aboard small propeller aircraft, such as the Cessna Caravan, with sweeping views of the plains and landscapes below.
• Convenient connections: Scheduled flights often serve one or two additional airstrips along the way, making it easier to connect between camps and destinations.
• Straight into your safari: On arrival at the airstrip, your private Land Cruiser and guide will be waiting to take you straight out on a game drive or to your next camp.
• To Gombe National Park: Flights arrive in Kigoma, where your onward journey continues by boat along Lake Tanganyika to Gombe National Park.

By combining light-aircraft flights with private ground transport, we make getting around Tanzania easier, more comfortable and part of the adventure itself.

For travel between Tanzania's main cities and destinations, we arrange flights with Air Tanzania, the country's national airline. Connecting destinations such as Dar es Salaam, Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar, Mwanza and Kigoma, these flights make it easy to combine a northern safari with a beach escape in Zanzibar or an adventure in western Tanzania.

• Weight restrictions apply on light aircraft: usually a maximum of 15 kg (33 lbs) of checked luggage per person, plus one piece of hand luggage. We'll confirm the exact allowance for your flights before you travel.
• Soft-sided bags only: hard suitcases do not fit in the small aircraft holds.
• Soft bags are also the best choice on road safaris, for easy storage in the Land Cruisers.

Wherever your journey begins, we make arriving in Tanzania seamless. For northern safaris and Mount Kilimanjaro climbs, the main gateway is Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), conveniently located between Arusha and Moshi. Depending on your itinerary, you may also arrive via Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) in Dar es Salaam or Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) in Zanzibar.

Our team will be there to welcome you on arrival, assist with your journey and make sure your private transfer is taken care of. All airport transfers are included in your tour, so from the moment you land, you can relax knowing you're in safe hands.
