Royal Adventures - Skysafari East Africa

Relax and watch the never- ending circle of life unwind against the backdrop of East Africa’s iconic parks and timeless landscapes

East Africa uncovered.

Two African giants. Millions of animals. Near-endless wilderness. One seamless, epic journey… Our combined trip to Kenya and Tanzania encompasses the very best of this intoxicating pair, from the heat-hazed, star-streaked Kenyan savannah, teeming with wildlife, to the highlands of Northern Tanzania, home to the continent’s highest mountain, the planet’s largest intact caldera, vast golden plains, truly enormous skies.

Our carefully curated flying safari will deliver the deepest, most engrossing East Africa immersion. We’ve thought of everything: luxurious lodges, executive planes, smooth transfers, the most incredible locations – every last detail covered, so all you have to do is relax into your trip of a lifetime.

When to SkySafari

Safari Vehicle Guide

For both Tanzania and East Africa itineraries, the SkySafari aircraft will return to Arusha by 1130, enabling guests to catch onwards flights to Zanzibar. For the Kenya SkySafari, our aircraft will return to Nairobi Wilson in time for onward flights to the Kenyan coast.
The earliest international flights you can book are those that depart at 1500 or later.
Yes they are but the accommodation will be an extra cost.
Yes, children under 16 years are restricted from walking safaris. Horse riding has a weight limit of 90kg (198.4lbs).
We will book you and your children into The Residence and, as with all our SkySafari itineraries, we create an all-inclusive package for you. This will consist of a scheduled flight from the Serengeti to Zanzibar (which stops in Arusha briefly), transfers to and from The Residence/Zanzibar International Airport and all-inclusive accommodation.

The SkySafari has nine seats. 6 reclining seats in the middle of the aircraft, two non-reclining seats at the back and one seat next to the pilot. Please note we fly with one pilot.
No there isn’t, we welcome people of all ages. Children of all ages are allowed; we do suggest that children of the ages of 4 years and up seem to get the most out of their experience. For families with young children we would ask that you book an exclusive vehicle use so that you have the flexibility to enjoy your safari activities at your own pace. There is no upper age limit, however we do ask you to let us know in advance if your guests are physically challenged or less-abled.
Absolutely! Please do let us know in advance so that we can book rooms closest to the main areas for you. Please bear in mind that there are steps in many of our lodges and camps. Our SkySafari eliminates long road transfers between lodges as these transfers take place in our SkySafari aircraft. However, game drives are conducted in the National Parks and Conservancies and the roads can be bumpy and one spends several hours on game drives each day.
Yes, we would love to welcome her. Please bear in mind that there are few facilities for handicapped/less-abled people in Tanzania and Kenya, but if your mother doesn’t mind being carried into the game drive vehicle and to her room, then she will take home memories to last a lifetime.
There is no best time, each season has its own special features. Travel in the rainy season (April-May and Oct-Nov) and the landscape is beautifully green, the dust has settled and there are fewer visitors on safari. The grass is fertile and tall which makes spotting game more challenging but rewarding. The rain will mainly fall during the night.  The remainder of the year is called the dry season, when there is less water available so animals tend to congregate around the water sources, making game spotting easier. This season also attracts more visitors on safari.
The main areas of all the lodges and camps offer free Wi-Fi. Please bear in mind that the Wi-Fi in East Africa is not lightning fast.
Yes, our chefs have been specially trained to deal with many different types of dietary requirements. The chefs will personally discuss your upcoming meals with you. Please also be sure to notify us of dietary requirements when making your booking.
Do all the lodges have 24-hour electricity? Yes they do. Bringing a CPAP machine is not a problem, and we will ensure that your machine is plugged in.
We will book you and your children into The Residence and, as with all our SkySafari itineraries, we create an all-inclusive package for you. This will consist of a scheduled flight from the Serengeti to Zanzibar (which stops in Arusha briefly), transfers to and from The Residence/Zanzibar International Airport and all-inclusive accommodation. Please contact us for a tailored itinerary to suit your needs.
