Great
Flying Safaris in Tanzania with Coastal
Aviation
Our
Air Safari, which took place during the 10 days of
Christmas 2003, began with a seafood dinner on the
patio at one of my favorite places,
"The
Slipway"
on Dar es Salaam's rapidly-changing waterfront. At
this unique shopping mall, now in its third or
fourth stage of development, we were introduced to
the owner Nicola
Colangelo, an exceptional person and gracious
host.
Having just completed two weeks of dawn to dusk
sessions at conferences in Zanzibar and at Dar es
Salaam's Golden Tulip Hotel, the idea of flying on
the Coastal Air Safari circuit had a special
appeal. continued

Aviation Tanzania and Coastal Travel
Services
Coastal Aviation's
rapidly expanding route system is "connecting the
dots."
Of the diverse
Tanzania Tourism Product. Now travelers can more
easily combine the Southern and Northern circuits
explore the Spice Islands and Swahili culture of
Zanzibar or snorkel and dive in the coral studded
Marine National Park in Mafia Island, all on the
same Safari. Coastal Aviation, developed by Dar es
Salaam-based Coastal Travel Ltd., pioneered
scheduled flying safaris in Tanzania. Coastal
Director Nicola Colangelo, said,"Our flying safaris
are so successful because they offer the
opportunity for small parties and single persons to
join an adventure which otherwise would have been
an prohibitive cost." As Tanzania tourism is
expanding, Coastal Aviation created new safari
combinations that were never possible before. In
the next two years, Coastal will invest an
additional USD3 million in aircraft and USD million
in camps and lodges.
Coastal Aviation's flights include: Arusha in the
Northern Circuit with Ruaha and the Selous in the
South; Ruaha, Katavi and Mahale; Rubondo Island and
the Serengeti; the Selous and Mafia Island. At the
World Travel Market in London , Coastal Aviation
launched an "Agent Friendly" online booking system.
Coastal Account Holding Travel Agents will be able
to plan and book the entire safari itinerary, as
well as confirm and issue travel documents. Other
agents and clients will have access to the
information but will not be able to book online.

New Flight to Kilwa
In 1324 al-Hasan
ibn Sulayman, Sultan of Kilwa, sailed to Cairo with
Slaves, Camels and Gold. In fact, with so much gold
that the Egyptian market went into a ten year
depression. This story must have caught the
interest of Vasco da Gama who, many years later,
gunned down Kilwa town…… We hope you know
the story, but if you are curious, you can now
research it in person: COASTAL flies every day to
Kilwa!
We depart Dar
es Salaam at 15:00 hrs and reach this ancient
destination at 16:20. You can spend a night in one
of the newly built hotels on the beach of this
fascinating town and fly back the next day at 16:30
hrs.
You can also make
Kilwa the destination of an excursion out of
Zanzibar or Mafia:

at 14:00 hrs and back in Zanzibar by 18:05
hrs
