2-Day Serengeti Fly-In Safari from Arusha
A private 2-day fly-in safari from Arusha to the central Serengeti: a light-aircraft flight in the morning, game drives on both days and a night at a tented camp in the park.
When You Only Have Two Days
By road the Serengeti is a full day from Arusha each way. Flying turns a two-day trip into a real Serengeti safari: you land at the Seronera airstrip in the middle of the park and start your first game drive right away.
The central Serengeti is good for lions, leopards and cheetahs all year, along the Seronera River and around the rocky kopjes. It suits travellers with very little time, for example before or after Kilimanjaro or a business trip in Arusha.

Questions Travellers Ask
Is one night enough?
It gives you about a day and a half of game drives in the Serengeti. More time is always better, but this is the best way to see the Serengeti in two days.
What will we see?
The central Serengeti is good for lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants and giraffes all year. The migration herds pass through at certain times.
Can we add a balloon flight?
Yes, on the morning of day 2, at extra cost.
Can we fly on to Zanzibar?
Yes. Flights from the Serengeti to Zanzibar run most days; ask us.
