Company
Profile
Coastal Aviation have been operating out of Dar es Salaam,
Tanzania since 1987, strategically developing a far-reaching
and extensive range of Air Charter and Scheduled flying safaris
across the country.
From humble beginnings and a single plane flying into Selous Game Reserve, we have grown to
become the premier aviation company of Tanzania, pioneering new routes as we open up the
country to air travel. As the common denominator between the quality tourism establishments, the
resident communities and private sector corporate charter clients of the region, Coastal Aviation
play a key role in the development of the country and its economy.
With five offices in the key hubs across our route network, affiliations with partner airlines in
neighbouring countries and a dedicated staff of more than 200, we are a proudly Tanzanian airline
with regional outreach across East Africa.

The Flying
Safari
Experience
Coastal Aviation have provided support to the tourism
infrastructure of Tanzania for over 20 years, our range growing
as our routes reach deeper into the wilderness. The Coastal
Flying Safari is a uniquely extensive safari experience, far from
the beaten track, venturing deep into the remote corners of the
celebrated Tanzanian National Parks.
Through our expanding route network linking the National Parks, we offer the opportunity to the more
intrepid visitors to take part in a safari experience that might be otherwise prohibitively expensive.
The flying safari gives a broader, horizon-reaching perspective of the African wildernesses that our
clients have come to see, free of traffic, poor roads and the minibus melee. We take you to the more
secluded camps and lodges, offering bespoke access to the most game-rich areas for an in-depth,
privileged safari experience with the most dedicated hosts, resident and intimately familiar with
their surroundings.
Coastal Aviation open up the world’s most celebrated safari destination to the independent-minded
traveller, taking them on their own unique safari experience, at their own pace, on their own terms.
From the primate forests of Katavi to the plains of the Serengeti, the slopes of Kilimanjaro to the
waterways of Selous, the floodplains of Ruaha to the Indian Ocean archipelagos: The choice is yours.

Our Reach
Coastal Aviation’s versatile fleet can access any airstrip in
Tanzania in two hours or less from Dar es Salaam, as well as
provide a more convenient and direct link to principal regional
centres such as Kenya and Northern Mozambique in under
90 minutes, or have wheels down in Rwanda and Uganda in a
little over 2 hours.
Further afield, working with our extensive network of aviation partners, we reach out across Africa
to a destination of your choice. Linking up prime safari destinations as diverse as Victoria Falls and
the Masai Mara, the Quirimbas in Mozambique and the gorilla highlands of Congo and Rwanda, the
beaches of Zanzibar and the waterways of the Okavango Delta, Coastal Aviation take you wherever
you want to go across Tanzania and Africa, whenever you want to be there, with comfort, speed and
safety guaranteed.
