Serviced Airstrips

These flights cover the key airstrips in the Serengeti, each offering access to specific lodges based on their geographic location within the park.

Baggage Guidelines and Flight Notes

Due to the use of smaller aircraft for shuttle services within Serengeti, strict luggage policies are enforced to ensure safety and space efficiency.

• Luggage must be packed in soft-sided duffel bags

• Maximum weight limit: 15 kg (per passenger, including carry-ons and camera gear)
