Best Fly-in Safaris in Africa - African Flying Tours and Safaris
The simplest yet memorable way to travel in Africa is by air. Cheetah Safaris specializes in Flying Safaris, using various reputable scheduled and private charter aviation companies in Africa. 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 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. Flying Safaris in Kenya guarantees short yet scenic views as you cross the Great Rift Valley or the second mountain in Africa, Mt. Kenya.

Charter Safaris in Africa
Fly aboard a private charter flight exclusively to your 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 the Masai Mara offer 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.

Best Fly-in Safaris in Africa to exotic destinations
Africa boasts some of the world’s premier safari destinations, many of which are best accessed by air. Due to the vast distances and occasionally challenging road conditions, we recommend reaching these locations via charter flights, helicopters, or scheduled regional services.
In regions like the Okavango Delta in Botswana, flying safaris are essential; the seasonally flooded plains often make road transfers impossible. Similarly, a flying safari is highly recommended for the Namib Desert to fully appreciate the scale of the dunes from above.
In Kenya, while scheduled flights are easily accessible, the ultimate luxury experience involves private helicopter excursions over Northern Kenya or Amboseli National Park. Conversely, Tanzania’s immense size means that national parks are situated far apart, particularly when traveling between the Northern and Southern safari circuits.
For a seamless “bush and beach” experience, you can book a private charter from Zanzibar to the Serengeti. For those seeking a unique adventure, we also offer scenic flights over Mount Kilimanjaro or the active volcano, Ol Donyo Lengai.
