Less Time Travelling
Replace long road transfers with scenic domestic flights and arrive closer to the heart of the safari.
Fly between Tanzania's great wilderness areas and spend less of your journey on the road. A seamless way to experience more of the safari you came for.
A fly-in safari changes the rhythm of the journey. Spend less time travelling between destinations and more time immersed in Tanzania's wilderness.
Fly directly into the wilderness and let the journey unfold from there. With carefully planned air connections, you can reach remote safari regions more efficiently, spend longer in the landscapes that matter, and create a smoother transition between safari and the coast.
Replace long road transfers with scenic domestic flights and arrive closer to the heart of the safari.
Spend your days exploring wildlife, landscapes and camps rather than moving between distant destinations by road.
Connect different safari regions or continue naturally from the wilderness to Zanzibar and the Indian Ocean.
The flight is only the beginning. What follows is more time among Tanzania's landscapes, wildlife and extraordinary places to stay.
Leave the city behind and arrive close to the landscapes where your safari begins.
Spend your time where it matters most: following wildlife through Tanzania's changing landscapes.
Move between distinct landscapes without allowing long transfers to dominate the journey.
Fly into remote safari country and settle into camps chosen for their setting, atmosphere and connection to the landscape.
With fewer long transfers, there is more space for unhurried mornings, wildlife, sunsets and evenings in the wilderness.
A fly-in safari is not simply about replacing a road journey with a flight. The route, airstrips, season, wildlife areas and accommodation all need to work together.
We look at the complete route rather than adding flights simply for convenience. The goal is to connect the places that make the most sense for your experience.
Domestic air connections can be particularly useful when time is limited or when you want to reach the Serengeti without spending a large part of the day travelling by road.
Wildlife movement changes throughout the year. Your flight route should support the areas that offer the strongest experience during your travel dates.
For travellers combining Tanzania with Zanzibar, flying can create a natural transition from the wilderness to the Indian Ocean without unnecessary backtracking.
The value of a fly-in safari is in the coordination. We bring together flights, vehicles, guides, camps and timing so the journey feels considered from beginning to end.
Flights, transfers, game drives and accommodation are planned as one journey, not as separate pieces.
Local knowledge helps us understand when flying is genuinely worthwhile and when travelling by road creates a better experience.
From the first flight to the final transfer, our team stays involved so the experience remains personal and well considered.
From short Serengeti escapes to longer journeys connecting several of Tanzania's great landscapes, each itinerary can be shaped around your time, interests and preferred style of travel.
Every itinerary is different, but a fly-in journey often follows a simple rhythm: fly in, explore deeply, move efficiently, and make the most of every day.
Leave from Arusha, Zanzibar or your chosen starting point and fly toward the wilderness, with the route designed around your itinerary.
Arrive at a safari airstrip and meet your guide, often moving directly into your first game drive.
Spend unhurried days exploring the area, following wildlife and allowing your guide to shape each game drive around the conditions.
Where the route calls for it, fly onward to another safari region rather than spending valuable hours crossing the landscape by road.
Make the most of your final safari hours, whether that means another game drive, a slow morning or a final sunset in camp.
Fly onward to Arusha, Zanzibar or your next destination, depending on how your wider Tanzania journey is designed.
The exact rhythm depends on your route, season and time available. We shape the flying around the experience rather than the other way around.

From start to finish, the experience was seamless and exhilarating. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable, not only about the wildlife but also about the local ecosystems, making the journey both educational and captivating.Posted on Curtis LarivièreVerified I was infatuated with it. It was the most amazing experience I could have imagined when I went on a 6-day safari excursion with Maramatta Safaris in MAY 2024.It was really well thought out and put together. Our driver and guide made sure everything went as planned. They were both really competent and informed, not to mention incredibly nice, gregarious, talkative, and enjoyable. Additionally, we had a fantastic cook who managed the meals for the duration of the trip.We were meant to tent for a few nights because we went with the less expensive option, but Glory upgraded us for free and we stayed in gorgeous lodges instead. at addition, we stayed two nights at her comfortable guesthouse in Arusha, both before and after the trip. It was a fantastic value for the money all around.The professionalism and focus on the needs of the customer exhibited by the whole Maramatta Safaris team truly impressed me. They went above and above to ensure that we could unwind and savor the enchantment of the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire—their wildlife, scenery, and ambiance. I was infatuated with it.

Start Your Journey →A fly-in safari changes the rhythm of the journey. These are the details we consider when planning your time between the airstrips, camps and wilderness.
Flying directly into the safari areas can replace long road transfers with more time exploring. This makes shorter journeys feel more immersive without rushing the experience.
Where you land shapes the beginning of your safari. We consider the location of your camp, the season, wildlife areas and your wider itinerary when choosing the most practical flight connections.
Once you land, the experience remains entirely about the wilderness. Your guide and vehicle become your way into the landscape, allowing your days to unfold around wildlife and the moments that matter.
Flying makes the transition between Tanzania's wilderness and Zanzibar especially natural. You can move from game drives and open plains to the Indian Ocean without adding unnecessary road time.
Safari flights operate differently from international air travel, with luggage allowances that can vary by aircraft and route. We help you plan what to bring, including camera equipment and essentials.
The value of flying is not simply the flight itself. It is the freedom to reach more remote areas, protect your time and create a richer safari within the days you have.
