The Seronera Airstrip is commonly used by tourists who are on a Fly-in Safari experience, who are connecting easily within the East African Region or Tanzanian Parks to reduce driving time, take to reach a destination.

You can do a combined African Safari and fly easily to a national park, which makes it quicker in a short time.

At the time of writing (2017), it is the largest by size and mostly used by small regional flights, from as far as Dar es Salaam, along with a few small international ones from Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda directs to the park, or for those with private jets.

There also is one airport building that serves as the lobby as well as administration offices.

Assuming you are heading out there for a flight, then a drive from any point within the national park would get you there. It is about a 2-hour drive from both Naabi hill and Ndabaka gates.
