Are flights from Zanzibar to the Serengeti daily
Yes on most routes in peak months. Schedules vary by season and operator. We match flight times to your lodge location and dates.
Which airstrip should I use
Seronera works for central Serengeti. Ndutu works from December to March. Western or northern strips are used when herds move in those directions.
Is a balloon flight possible on this plan
