Flight Booking Tips
Book Early
Book your flights 3-6 months in advance for the best prices, especially for peak season (June-October, December-February).
Choose the Right Airport
Fly into JRO for Northern Circuit safaris and Kilimanjaro climbs. Use DAR for Southern Circuit and Zanzibar connections.
Allow Connection Time
Allow at least 3-4 hours for international connections. Some flights arrive late evening, so plan accordingly.
Arrival Day
We recommend arriving one day before your safari starts. This gives you time to rest and prepare for your adventure.
