Dear Trade Partners We would like to notify all our agents that it is possible to acquire Visa for Tanzania transiting in Mwanza, however please note that the Immigration Office at Mwanza airport do not accept any form of CREDIT CARD payments. The guests have to be escorted outside the premises toward the nearest ATM to then withdraw the cash required to pay for their visas, thus causing delay to the passengers that already have their visas.

Dear Partners, We strive for the constant improvement of our daily operations, with safety and consistency as main goals. As regulations require our aircraft to land before sundown, we are reviewing our schedule, basing our latest landing on the earlier sunset of the year.

On September 16th 1987, Coastal embarked on its maiden voyage from Dar-Es-Salaam to Selous in a single-engine Cessna 206. 32 years on, we would like to thank you all for your continued support and we look forward to many more years in service together.

Coastal is honoured to have been integral to the development of ecological and sustainable tourism in Tanzania. The Flying Safari Company believes, Safari, no matter how long or short, has always resulted in adventure, an element of chance and a potentially volatile itinerary to capture the most amazingly unique experiences up close and first-hand. Safari flying has eradicated the barriers of long distances, hostile weather and an absence of roads or bridges, to make travelling in Africa some of the most intrepid and magical experiences of a lifetime.

The first thing that always comes to mind when we think about World Wildlife Day is heading out on a safari or any botanical conservatory and reminding ourselves of the vast variety of life our world offers.  Being pioneers of a Flying Safari network capable of accessing some of the most remote parks of Tanzania and East Africa, Coastal has made it possible for customers to view some of the most majestic animals in the world, in their natural habitats.

Coastal Aviation continues to bolster its operational and safety standards. Since the beginning of this year, we have embarked on a journey to ensure that we meet or exceed internationally accepted standards of safety in the aviation arena.
