Not to Miss During Flights

With ⅔ rds of the distance covered, the route takes you a little to the right of Tarangire National  Park, then over the north end of Lake Manyara, through the Ngorongoro Conservation area and finally into Seronera, the main landing strip of the Serengeti.

Not to be missed is the view you will have, weather dependent, of Mount Meru and the majesty of white peaked Mount Kilimanjaro off to the east – the right-hand side of the aircraft. On your approach and descent, keep your eyes open for the game filled plains below.

Airport & Layover Tips

Explore one Tanzania’s remote airstrips found in the Serengeti also known as the Seronera Airstrip. This is one of the several airstrips found in the Serengeti National park that services a few hundred passengers a month. The airstrip welcomes direct flights from a range of destinations from Arusha and Dar es Salaam to Zanzibar and is the fastest way to reach the northern part of the Serengeti that crosses the border with Kenya.

Seronera is one of many airstrips in the Serengeti: it has a dirt top making the landing a fun experience. There are no terminal buildings at most of the ‘bush’ airstrips so you’ll pick up your bags next to your plane, see your transfer waiting and then continue your journey and adventure.
