“A thrilling 3-day safari escape from Zanzibar, flying you straight into the heart of Tanzania’s most spectacular wilderness: Serengeti National Park.”

This private fly-in safari is perfect for travelers on Zanzibar who want to experience the magic of Tanzania’s most famous national park without the long drive. Fly directly into the Seronera region of the Serengeti, where your private safari guide and 4×4 await to lead you across its legendary plains and immerse you in the wild.

Spend your days surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife. Experience the Serengeti’s rhythm: mornings with predators on the move, afternoons with grazing elephants and zebras, and evenings as the sun casts a red glow across the horizon.

After two unforgettable nights in the wild, set out for a final morning game drive before flying back to Zanzibar. A once-in-a-lifetime journey with every detail handled, offering seamless door-to-door service from your Zanzibar accommodation.

*It’s possible to arrange an extended stay in the Serengeti at an additional cost.

Our local guides. We believe that the happiest guides create the most memorable safaris. At Arusha Trips, we only work with local guides who are not only knowledgeable, but truly passionate about their work. We believe that a good guide makes for a good safari, but a great guide makes for an unforgettable one.

All of our guides work incredibly hard and always go the extra mile to make sure you feel right at home. They are great at spotting wildlife and know the parks like the back of their hand. That’s something we’re proud of.

Safari vehicles. For our safaris, we use the latest 4×4 Toyota Landcruisers, capable of overcoming the roughest terrains. All vehicles feature large windows and a pop-up roof to get a 360° view. They come equipped with electricity ports to charge your camera & phone, a fridge for cold beverages, two way radio communication, cushy seats, binoculars, animal books and more. This ensures a comfortable ride anytime, anywhere. We also offer unlimited game-mileage, meaning you can drive as far and as long as you want! 

Why a good car is important: The terrain in Tanzania is rugged and consists of off-road trails that can change from sand to deep mud puddles in a heartbeat. To be fully prepared, we service our cars before every trip, to make sure they are in mint condition. A good car is half the battle and a properly maintained vehicle reduces the chance of breakdowns that could delay your safari.

A private, tailor-made safari is simply the best way to experience Tanzania. 

All of our safaris are 100% Tailor-made. This means we offer personalised travel down to the smallest details. Each day and every accommodation can be tailored to suit the individual needs and interests of your group. From the pinnacle of luxury to a raw, local experience. Anything is possible. 

With a private safari, you have complete control over your own schedule. Your personal safari guide goes wherever you wish. Do you want to spend the whole day looking for that one leopard, or just relax by the pool and gaze at the elephants drinking at the waterhole? It’s up to you!

Together with your personal Tanzania-specialist, you create your ideal safari, one on one. We combine your preferences and wishes with our in-dept knowledge of Tanzania to create that perfect holiday.

Sustainable tourism in Tanzania

As travelers, we want to enjoy our holidays as much as possible, but at the same time we have to consider the environmental impact our journeys may have. Therefore, we try to do as much as we can to keep our environmental footprint to a minimum.

Arusha Trips was founded out of love for nature and wildlife. In fact, our entire business relies on it. Naturally, we want Tanzania’s wildlife to thrive and it’s nature to flourish, so we can continue enjoying its incredible natural wonders for generations to come.

For this reason (and many others), we are actively involved in creating a more sustainable future for the safari industry, without compromising our guests’ experiences. Starting by drastically reducing our plastic usage/waste and opting sustainable alternatives in all aspects of our operations, as well as sharing our knowledge & practices with our local partners.
