Day 3 : Ngorongoro Crater to Zanzibar

On the last day of your 3 Days Tanzania Flying Safari from Zanzibar to Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, have breakfast early before you leave the Serengeti and go on a wildlife drive.

You’ll take the scenic route, which frequently goes via the Ndutu region or the Serengeti plains, where you’ll still have an opportunity to see animals. Your objective is the Ngorongoro Crater rim, where you’ll stop for a great picture op with a view of the world’s biggest dormant volcanic crater, which is home to a huge number of animals.

After taking in the sights, you’ll head to Arusha Airport (or Kilimanjaro International Airport, depending on your trip), where you’ll take your aircraft back to Zanzibar. You will arrive in the evening, which will be the ideal end of your 3 days flying safari from Zanzibar to Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater.

Frequently Asked Questions on 3 Days Tanzania Flying Safari from Zanzibar
What is the luggage allowance on the light aircraft ?

Luggage is strictly limited due to aircraft size and weight restrictions. Typically, the allowance is:

Soft-sided duffel bags only (hard suitcases are not permitted).

Weight limit: 15-20 kg (33-44 lbs) per person in total, including hand luggage.

Dimensions are often restricted (e.g., 25cm x 30cm x 62cm). Exact limits will be provided in your pre-departure information.

Wear comfortable safari clothes. It’s best to wear layers because the weather might change. Important: Always include your camera, binoculars, prescriptions, travel documents, and a light jacket in your carry-on bag.

Aircraft vary but commonly seat 12-19 passengers on scheduled shared flights. Seating is assigned by the operator, and all passengers have a window seat. Private charter flights are also available for greater flexibility.

The scheduled flights frequently function like a “bus service in the sky,” with brief stops at several airstrips to drop off and pick up passengers. Your guide will educate you about the timetable. Direct private charters can be arranged.

Whenever possible, we include flexibility at the beginning of your trip. We will help you rebook on the next available flight, however there may be additional fees, if you miss a scheduled domestic flight because of an international delay. Arriving at least one day prior to the start of your safari is highly recommended.

Indeed. We exclusively collaborate with respectable, authorized domestic airlines that follow stringent international and Tanzanian safety regulations. Their pilots have a great deal of local flying expertise.

Of course! We can easily set up your flight to Zanzibar (ZNZ) from a mainland park airstrip (such as Seronera or Manyara).

"Amazing trip"

Recommend this to everyone, Mr. Herman was our guide, and super knowledgeable and professional. He knew where to find every animal we wanted to see and was super punctual. We saw every animal that you associate with Safari, and super close! We stayed at wonderful accommodations with the Camp at Serengeti being the highlight, along with a nice stay with the Maasai at the end of our trip.

"Very happy on a journey!"

This trip is so much fun! Our guides, Jordan and Osman, are very attentive, and the guide to my car is Jordan, who has a very sharp eye for spotting particularly distant animals and always takes us very quickly to the best viewing booth for animals. And I think their service was good. Oh, never let us carry a suitcase once from start to finish, always laughing! And he’ll tell us a lot about their local fun and great driving skills!

Leo – China

"Unforgettable Experience"

We had an unforgettable experience booking our Tanzania safari with Meijo Safaris. From start to finish, the service was seamless, and the team went above and beyond to make the trip truly special. A particular highlight was our incredible guides, Herman and Prays. They were always attentive to our needs, made sure we were comfortable, and consistently impressed us with their professionalism.
On the game drives, their eagle eyes spotted.
