Luxury Tanzania Fly-In Safari — The Signature Northern Circuit

Overview

This is the Northern Circuit at its finest — the same three great parks of Tanzania, but travelled the way the continent's most experienced safari-goers travel it: by light aircraft, staying in the very best lodges, with your days built entirely around the golden hours rather than the road. You fly between Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater highlands and the Serengeti, so there are no long transfer days eating into your safari; every morning and evening is spent among the wildlife, and every night is spent somewhere extraordinary — a suite at Four Seasons Safari Lodge overlooking a Serengeti waterhole, the timbered grandeur of a Grumeti reserve lodge, a room on the very rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. A private guide and 4x4 wait for you in each park.

Flying rather than driving is the single greatest luxury on a Tanzania safari — it turns a full day of corrugated road into a forty-minute flight over the plains, and it buys you an extra game drive at each end. This journey concentrates that saved time, and your budget, into the things that define an ultra-luxury safari: suites with private decks and plunge pools, cellars of fine wine, guides who have tracked these plains for decades, and lodges positioned exactly where the wildlife gathers. Every internal flight, every park, concession and crater-service fee, and 18% VAT are built into the price and itemised in writing, so the figure you see is the figure you pay.
