Tour Overview

For travellers who value time and comfort, this fly-in safari eliminates the long road transfers and delivers you straight to the heart of the action. Charter flights between parks mean more hours with wildlife and less time on the road.

Three nights in the Serengeti provide ample time for morning and afternoon game drives across the plains, while one night on the Ngorongoro crater rim sets up a dawn descent into the caldera for some of Africa's densest wildlife viewing.

Premium lodges, private vehicles, and expert guides make this our most refined safari experience.
