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.

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.

Travel distances
Before sunrise, you’ll be picked up from your hotel in Zanzibar for a scenic 8:00 AM flight to the legendary Seronera Airstrip of Central Serengeti, where you’ll touch down by late morning.
Here you’ll be met by your very own professional safari guide and 4×4 Land Cruiser. After a short briefing, you’ll head out to explore the wildest heart of Tanzania; Serengeti’s great plains, which have earned a worldwide reputation for their incredible scenery and wildlife. It is home to over 3,000 big cats, the Great Migration, and countless other predator and prey species. With hundreds of nature documentaries to its name, Serengeti National Park is truly one of a kind.
As the sun sets, you’ll head to the lodge for a delicious dinner, followed by storytelling around the campfire, surrounded by the sounds of local wildlife.
As the first light touches the plains, set out on a thrilling sunrise safari. Sunrise is prime hunting time for big cats and other predators, giving you an incredible chance to witness thrilling wildlife action as the Serengeti comes alive.
Following the morning game drive, return to the lodge for a relaxed breakfast and some rest. Once refreshed and ready, continue your journey with a full-day game drive through Serengeti National Park. With the right timing, we may even have the chance to witness the Great Migration, a defining highlight of a safari.
Opt to fly over Serengeti’s impressive plains and spot wildlife from a different perspective by choosing an optional balloon safari with a champagne breakfast. This early morning experience will make your safari even more memorable.
On your last morning in the Serengeti, head out for a final game drive. This is your last chance to spot your favorite wild animals. Lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, and other wildlife may cross your path, giving you a final chance to spot all members of the big five before bidding farewell to this incredible landscape. Make sure to savor every last sight and sound of the park.
Around midday, we’ll transfer you to the airstrip for your flight back to Zanzibar. Upon arrival, our driver will be waiting to take you back to your accommodation, bringing an unforgettable journey to a close.
