Western Tanzania Fly-In Safari

Combine Katavi's wild floodplains with Mahale's chimpanzees by light aircraft — Tanzania's ultimate remote-wilderness fly-in circuit.

Experience Guide

Tanzania’s far west holds two of Africa’s greatest wilderness experiences — Katavi’s staggering dry-season game concentrations and Mahale’s wild chimpanzees on Lake Tanganyika — but both are deeply remote. A western fly-in safari links them by light aircraft into one extraordinary, exclusive circuit for the seasoned traveller.

You’ll go from thousand-strong buffalo herds and crowded hippo pools on Katavi’s floodplains to sitting among chimps in Mahale’s lakeshore forest, with white-sand beaches to finish. It’s about as wild and far from the crowds as African travel gets.

Is It Worth It?

The most remote and exclusive safari in Tanzania — and priced accordingly. It rewards experienced travellers who've done the classic circuits and crave genuine wilderness and chimps. Logistics are involved and weather can shift bush flights, so build in a little buffer. For the right traveller, it's the trip of a lifetime.
