I have been flying with Air Excel for over 20 years. They are safe, reliable, friendly and cover all the best Safari locations in northern Tanzania. They have very experienced pilots that offer more than just a flight from A to B. Air Excel is always my first choice 🥇

I was flying with them twice-from Zanzibar to Arusha and back to Zanibar in 5 days time. The pilots are very professional and super friendly (Ricardo thanks for the safe flights and showing to us Kilimanjaro from the sky),the flights are relatively cheap and you can buy them while being already on Zanzibar,when flying for Safari. Don't be scared of small planes -it's a really great experience!

We flew between Zanzibar and Arusha. It was a 12 person plane and all went smoothly - checking in, the flight itself, our arrival and collecting our bags. The flight was on time and well flown by the pilot. The views were stunning. Overall it was a positive experience. However there was not a co-pilot or any other staff on the plane and this felt unsafe and could have been dangerous if the pilot had suddenly become ill.
