Private Jet Farnborough to Serengeti

Connecting Farnborough with the Serengeti, this 3,676 nautical mile private charter carries travellers south from Hampshire across the Mediterranean and down the length of Africa to the Tanzanian plains. A heavy jet is well suited to the sector, with the Gulfstream G550 offering the range for a non-stop crossing, cruising at altitudes up to 45,000 feet for a smooth, efficient flight above much of the weather along the route. Farnborough Airport, purpose-built for business aviation, gives travellers a discreet and efficient departure well away from the congestion of London’s commercial hubs. The flight lands at Seronera Airstrip, set within the central Serengeti and close to camps positioned for year-round access to the ecosystem’s resident wildlife. Lion prides are regularly seen resting among the granite kopjes near the airstrip, while the surrounding plains support healthy populations of elephant, giraffe and buffalo throughout the year. During the migration season, the area becomes a focal point for the movement of wildebeest and zebra as they cross the Serengeti in vast numbers. Chartering privately on this route spares travellers the multiple connections a commercial itinerary from southern England would otherwise involve, typically saving a full day of transit and delivering guests straight from Hampshire into the heart of Tanzania’s wilderness. With the schedule entirely their own, many travellers on this route also build in a detour to Ngorongoro Crater, taking advantage of the private charter’s flexibility to see two of northern Tanzania’s signature landscapes in a single trip. The reserve’s alkaline lakes and river systems also draw notable birdlife, from fish eagles to flamingos, giving arriving guests plenty to explore across the Serengeti beyond the well-known predator sightings.
