Big Five safari flights
Big 5 Flights
Start with the reserve, then choose the airport. Big Five trips often need a long-haul gateway, a regional hop, and a lodge transfer or light aircraft.
Route builder
Search the gateway that major agents can actually book.
The closest safari airstrip is not always the first flight search. Use the main gateway for Expedia-style searches, then confirm onward lodge access.
Gateway airports
Book the hub, then solve the safari transfer.
These gateways cover the strongest Big Five and classic safari regions. Smaller strips and camp airfields should always be confirmed with the lodge.

Use these pages for the major approach routes, then return to Big Five and lodge planning for the reserve decision.
