Regular scheduled flights connect Arusha and Kilimanjaro Airport with the Serengeti (multiple airstrips), Lake Manyara, Tarangire, and other northern circuit destinations. Coastal Aviation, Auric Air, and other operators provide these services.
For the southern circuit, flights connect Dar es Salaam with Nyerere National Park (Selous), Ruaha, and other destinations. Air Tanzania operates larger aircraft on major routes, while smaller charter planes serve remote airstrips.
Zanzibar is well connected by frequent short flights from Dar es Salaam, Arusha, and the Serengeti, making beach extensions easy to incorporate.
Most bush flights have a luggage limit of 15 kilograms per person and require soft-sided bags rather than hard suitcases. Your safari operator will advise on specific requirements.
