I've only been there once so I could easily be wrong, but what we were
told is you can drive around on your own and even stay at campgrounds
outside the parks, but you couldn't visit parks like Serengeti or the
Ngorongoro crater without a guide. Maybe it's different for Africans.
The paperwork was checked pretty carefully at all the entrance points.
Maybe Dave Patterson can give us a definitive answer?

Regional Air has regularly scheduled daily air service from Arusha to
Lake Manyara, then Seronera (central Serengeti), then Grumeti (west of
Seronera in Serengeti) and less often they fly to Klein's Camp (north
Serengeti) ... we were told this was a reputable company if you wanted
to fly and they also can arrange private charters ...

I can't see the point in flying to Manyara since it's two hours on nice
paved roads from Arusha but I can understand why someone might want to
fly into Seronera and meet a driver there and avoid many miles of
bumpy, dusty roads.
