Scheduled flights from Arusha or, where routing allows, Zanzibar connect to Kogatende or another northern airstrip. Five camp nights support several full migration-tracking days.
The flight is shared, while the safari vehicle is private unless otherwise quoted. River crossings remain unpredictable, but the long northern stay provides time to wait, reposition and explore wildlife beyond the river.
6-Day Mara River Fly-In Safari takes you through Tanzania's most celebrated national parks. Each day is a different landscape, a different wildlife encounter.
