Fly-in Safaris in Africa - Safaris by Air in East Africa

The simplest yet memorable way to travel in East Africa is by air. Cheetah Safaris specializes in Flying Safaris, using various different reputable scheduled and private charter aviation companies in Kenya and Tanzania. Enabling you to cover large distances in a short time, traveling by air gives you the maximum amount of time on the ground to enjoy the local ecosystem, wildlife sightings, and safari property while still fresh and energetic.

Whether flying from Masai Mara National Reserve, the land of the big cats and wildebeest crossings, to Serengeti National Park, the vast plains hosting the wildebeests, our Flying safaris are the best options to ensure you capitalize on your holidays. Our Fly-in Safaris is one of the best ways to experience and enjoy safaris in Africa.

Only by flying across East Africa can one truly appreciate the sheer scale of a country’s size and beauty. There are scheduled flights that connect all the main safari destinations as well as the coast, but for a more exclusive experience, we recommend taking your own private plane –for true luxury and flexibility experience. Traverse the major wildlife safari destinations in Africa with our flying safaris within minutes over the vast plains.

Flying from Nairobi, Mombasa, Zanzibar, or Arusha, your holiday destinations are not as far as compared to driving from these places to your bush holiday destination.

We’ve found that the journey by light aircraft is as much a highlight as the actual safari. African Flying Safaris come with many thrills and amazing flight experiences, with spanning views of landscapes across Africa. Sometimes you’re low enough to pick out migrating herds or hippos congregating around a river bend, then you descend onto airstrips that have to be cleared of mischievous wildlife.

Instead of an airport building and luggage carousel, you’ll be greeted by buffalos and elephants! What an amazing way to start your African Safari Holiday! Picked by our 4×4 land cruiser open land cruisers, excitement kicks in to just want to stay in these destinations forever.

Our African Flying Safaris are scheduled and can be customized to fit your preferences, so as to have your safari holiday in comfort, just as you always dreamt of. Flying Safaris over Masai Mara offers unending views of the savannah plains from the top. Or whether flying from Arusha to Serengeti National Park and crossing the Ngorongoro Crater before landing to start your wildebeest migration adventures.

We love how the views from a plane window complement what you see on the ground. Most of our safaris are about exquisite details; from luxury safari camps to the best safari guides and sightings of wildlife. We can’t get enough of how this ignites the imagination. By flying across the national parks you can appreciate the true abundance of animals that roam free in Africa.
