SkySafari Tanzania

10 Day Luxury Air Safari

Get ready to feel small indeed. Northern Tanzania is wilderness on a mind-blowing scale: big skies, big herds, big mountains, Big Five, big drama. This is where you’ll find the country’s finest safari spots and most striking terrain.

Northern Tanzania’s wilderness goes on forever, an untamed eternity on an enormous scale. It’s home to the continent’s highest mountain, the planet’s largest intact caldera, unfathomable numbers of animals, vast golden plains, truly enormous skies. This is bowl-you-over country: big, bewitching, breathtaking at every turn.

Tanzania’s finest safari spots are clustered here, and we’ll fly you effortlessly between them, to reveal the regions full diversity, depth and drama. We’ll take you to the treetops of Tarangire, where bedrooms balance amid the baobabs and the country’s biggest concentration of elephants roams. We’ll drop you down into Ngorongoro Crater, the UNESCO-listed basin brim-full of wildlife. And we’ll sweep you straight onto the boundless Serengeti, so you’ve got front-row seats for the wildest show on earth.

We’ve planned our SkySafari Tanzania trip meticulously to maximise your immersion in the African bush (with plenty of lovely surprises along the way). You’ll be treated like a VIP from start to finish: we’ll fast-track you through airports, drive you directly onto runways, whisk you away in our private plane, serve you champagne and nibbles – Then we’ll deliver you into the heart of the wilderness to be pampered at the finest camps and have your eyes opened by the very best guides.

Know that you’ll be treading lightly, too: each of our trips contributes to Land & Life, a foundation committed to a sustainable future that sees local communities benefit from tourism, safeguarding nature for the next generation.

So fly with us on your safari holidays in Tanzania for less time travelling, more time doing. No minute is wasted. Which leaves more opportunity for game drives and bike rides, for sundowners and stargazing, for campfires, bush walks, birdsong and the Big Five. For feeling Africa seep into your soul. We simply want you to spend the most adventurously relaxing safari holidays in Tanzania.

Tanzania is bowl you over country: big bewitching and breathtaking at every turn.

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.
