Frequently Asked Questions – 3 Days Serengeti Fly In Safari
What makes a 3 days Serengeti fly in safari better than a road safari?
The primary advantage of our 3 days Serengeti fly in safari is time efficiency and comfort. Instead of spending 12-16 hours total on bumpy roads traveling to and from the Serengeti, you’ll fly in just 3-4 hours round trip. This gives you an entire extra day for wildlife viewing, which is crucial for a shorter Tanzania safari. Additionally, the scenic flights provide spectacular aerial views of the Ngorongoro Crater, Rift Valley, and Serengeti ecosystem that you’d never see from the ground. The fly-in option is also ideal for travelers with limited mobility or those who want to maximize comfort during their Serengeti wildebeest migration safari.
Can I combine a 3 days Serengeti fly in safari with Ngorongoro Crater?
Absolutely! Many travelers opt for a 3 days Serengeti and Ngorongoro fly in safari combination. This popular Tanzania safari package typically includes flying into the Serengeti for 2 days of game viewing, then either flying or driving to Ngorongoro Crater for an additional day before returning to Arusha. This combination allows you to experience two of Tanzania’s most iconic wildlife destinations in one trip. The Ngorongoro Crater offers a different ecosystem and guaranteed sightings of the Big Five, complementing the vast plains and Serengeti wildebeest migration perfectly.
What is the best time for a 3 days Serengeti fly in safari?
The best time for your Tanzania safari depends on what you want to experience. For the famous Serengeti wildebeest migration safari river crossings, book between July and October when herds cross the Mara River in the northern Serengeti. For calving season with thousands of newborn wildebeest (and predator action), visit January through March in the southern Serengeti. The dry season (June to October) offers excellent overall wildlife viewing with animals concentrated around water sources. However, our 3 days Serengeti fly in safari operates year-round, and each season offers unique advantages. Green season (November to May) provides lush landscapes, fewer tourists, and often better rates.
What type of aircraft is used for the Serengeti fly in safari?
Our 3 days Serengeti fly in safari typically uses comfortable, well-maintained aircraft such as Cessna Caravans or similar light aircraft operated by licensed Tanzanian carriers. These planes are specifically designed for bush flying with large windows perfect for aerial photography and wildlife spotting.
