Serengeti
Witness the greatest wildlife spectacle on Earth.
Overview
The Serengeti's endless plains host the Great Migration — two million wildebeest and zebra tracing ancient routes across golden savannah. Ultra-luxury tented camps deliver five-star comfort amid raw wilderness. This is Africa at its most iconic and untamed.

Why Fly Private
The Serengeti's remote bush airstrips are inaccessible to commercial aviation, making charter the only way to reach the finest lodges. Flying private eliminates long overland drives and maximizes game-drive time. Multi-destination itineraries connecting the Serengeti with Zanzibar or the Masai Mara are only feasible by charter.
Private Jet Experience
The Serengeti is accessed via bush landing strips deep in the wilderness. Your jet lands at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where a bush plane awaits for the transfer to Seronera or Grumeti airstrip. Lodge staff greet you on the dusty runway for a game-drive transfer — wildlife sightings often begin before you reach camp.
