Please note :
Flights between Northern Tanzania and Western Tanzania are on Mondays and Thursdays only, with a departure from Arusha around 0800, routing via Serengeti to Katavi, then Mahale, returning to Arusha around 1800. There's normally a stop en route both ways, at Tabora in central Tanzania, to refuel and stretch the legs.
We can easily organize pick-ups and/or drop-offs in the Serengeti pre or post a safari in the West, or alternatively can arrange onward flights to Ruaha, Selous and Zanzibar & other islands.
Children of 8 at Greystoke Mahale, and children over 12 at Chada Katavi. We can only offer walking and fly camping at Chada Katavi to children over 16, and chimp trekking at Greystoke Mahale to children of 12 and above - this purely for sensible safety reasons.
