No second wasted
We’ve designed our Tanzania fly-in trip to give you more of that most precious thing: time. Using our own fleet of small, smart planes, rather than regular scheduled flights, our SkySafari Tanzania means you’ll spend around 16 hours less travelling. That’s more time for relaxing on your veranda overlooking the plains, picnicking out in the bush or watching the raw-in-tooth-and-claw spectacle of the bush.
You’ll be treated like a VIP from start to finish: we’ll drive you directly onto runways, whisk you away in our private planes (which seat only nine passengers); you’ll enjoy champagne and nibbles, a greater luggage allowance, more space to relax… Then, with no needless stops or changes, we’ll land you in the heart of the wilderness. And you’ll be able to rest easy, knowing all our trips operate on a carbon-negative basis.
The best beds
The best safaris are those that put you right where the action is. Which is why we fly you between the Elewana Collection, a handful of unique camps and lodges that combine exquisite style with unrivalled locations and direct access to the wilderness.
In a private conservancy bordering the national park, Elewana Tarangire Treetops is like something from a fairytale, a scatter of suites teetering amongst the branches of the baobab trees. Elewana The Manor is possibly the most sumptuous stop on the safari circuit: its elegant Cape Dutch-styled cottages are perfectly placed for forays into the Ngorongoro Crater. In the Serengeti, we’ll take you to the best spot for the season: the handsome bygone-era tents of Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp, in the southern Serengeti, are wonderful when the wildebeest are calving and nearby Lake Magadi is flushed with a flamboyance of flamingoes; the sophisticated stilted suites of Elewana Serengeti Migration Camp are the place to watch the annual passing of two million ungulates.
And Arusha Coffee Lodge is a sweet-scented sanctuary. Its plantation-style houses are scattered across a working coffee farm and lush, tranquil gardens, and provide the perfect bookend to your safari.
