For Domestic Safari Flights ✈️
If your safari includes a flight from the Serengeti, soft-sided luggage is strongly recommended because aircraft baggage compartments have limited space.
Travellers should check the baggage allowance for their specific flight before departure. Excess baggage may incur additional charges.

You don't need to bring heavy camping equipment, cooking equipment, or large quantities of food. Tartaruga Safaris takes care of the safari logistics, accommodation, park arrangements, and meals included in your package.
