Coastal’s Journey

Coastal Aviation is a renowned Tourism Aviation company head-quartered in Dar-Es-Salaam, the largest city in Tanzania as well as offices and representatives spread across East Africa. With over 30 years of experience, Coastal Aviation is recognized for its extensive flying safari network, reaching 44 destinations and capable of accessing the remotest parts of the country where no roads have reached or will possibly ever do so.

Coastal started as an inbound operator offering "Personalized Safaris & Air Charters"​ to the, then, very thin tourism market. The original Coastal fleet was composed of one Aircraft, a Cessna 206T and three beautiful large dhows. As the country’s development increased, sailing to Zanzibar became a business for faster powered boats. Coastal Aviation decided to focus on the aviation side to the business but remains with the Dhow on the logo to remind us of our romantic beginnings.

Today, Coastal Aviation operates to roughly 100 airstrips located in some of the most isolated pockets of Eastern Africa. The scheduled Coastal network also connects visitors to Kenya and Rwanda with the world-famous Serengeti, links with Southern Tanzania parks of Selous and Ruaha, and unites the tropical island paradises of Pemba, Zanzibar, Mafia and Fanjove Private Island with the National Parks and towns of the mainland.

The Coastal Flying Safari is a uniquely extensive safari experience, far from the beaten track, venturing deep into the secluded corners of the celebrated Tanzanian National Parks. Coastal Aviation offers 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.
