As of June 2010, they are rescheduling their flights to connect Serengeti National Park in the North and Ruaha National Park in the South via Arusha. The more convenient and easier for a Tanzania Safari to include both the Northern Circuit and the Southern Circuit, ensuring a fuller, more diverse travel experience.

The Serengeti National Park, named the new 7th Wonder of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is host to the largest and longest overland animal migration in the world. Since it is a world renowned icon, and adjacent to the Ngorongoro Crater, it is the most popular and most traveled destination on the Safari circuit. Ruaha, the 2nd largest National Park in Africa, is one of Tanzania’s “undiscovered jewels,” receiving far fewer visitors than Parks in the North, yet providing a totally different and richer Safari.

Peter Mwenguo, Managing Director, Tanzania Tourist Board said “Until recently, most first time visitors only had time to see Tanzania’s famous Icons in the North, Kilimanjaro, Serengeti, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire. Now, as flight service improves between the North and South, the visitor can also discover in the same visit, the excitement and beauty of the South – Ruaha, the Selous, Mikumi, Kitulo.”

For Coastal’s Arusha to Ruaha flight, the aircraft takes off at 1:30 pm. This gives plenty of time for guests to land in Arusha before transferring to Ruaha flying via Tarangire. The flight lands in Ruaha around 4:00 pm. As for the return flight, the flight takes off from Ruaha at 9:45 am and arrives in Arusha around midday, connecting to Serengeti at 12:30 pm.
