Fly Hopping Safaris

Fly-in safaris connect Africa’s most iconic landscapes with ease, linking private bush strips to remote wilderness. From Botswana’s Okavango Delta to Namibia’s Skeleton Coast, Zambia’s Kafue, and Tanzania’s Serengeti, guests soar above shifting horizons and land to secluded camps such as Little Mombo, Serra Cafema, or Busanga Bush Camp

From Sky to Savannah 

Lift off from Arusha Coffee Lodge, bound for Tarangire Treetops’ ancient baobabs. Days later, touch down near Usawa Serengeti to follow the migration. In Botswana, helicopter hops reveal the Okavango’s waterways from above, linking Linyanti to Khwai and on to Vumbura Plains. Finally, soar over Namibia’s dunes to Hoanib Skeleton Coast.

Experiences & Highlights

Fly hopping safaris link remote regions by light aircraft so more of your time is spent in the wild and less on the road. In Kenya and Tanzania, smooth circuits connect Arusha Coffee Lodge to Tarangire Treetops, onward to Serengeti Migration Camp, or across to Sand River Masai Mara and Tortilis Camp Amboseli. In Botswana, airstrips beside floodplains place you within minutes of camps such as DumaTau, Vumbura Plains, Chitabe, Jao and Tubu Tree, creating an elegant flow between habitats and activities.

Namibia pairs easily too, with Little Kulala for dunes and then a hop to the Okavango or Victoria Falls via regional links. Rwanda adds a contrasting finale with Wilderness Bisate Lodge near the volcanoes for gorillas. Pilots and ground teams handle bags and timings, guides meet you on the strip, and scenic routes double as aerial game viewing with wide window seats. Private charters are available for families or photo groups, and soft luggage keeps everything efficient and relaxed.
