From a “bird´s eye view,” you will reach the different lodges included in your tailor-made itinerary/safari within one country or when combining several countries. Whether it is the Okavango Delta, Sossusvlei, Great Kruger, Hwange N.P or South Luangwa N.P, your pilot will ensure the flight goes smoothly and runs in time.
The light aircraft, including single prop planes such as the Cessna Caravan Airvan, only fly between lodges located within the same country and not between countries. It is possible to arrange private charters from one country to another at an additional cost. All the selected carriers we partner with follow strict safety and maintenance procedures.
Your guide will be waiting for you at the landing airstrip and drive you by an open 4×4 vehicle to your accommodation upon arrival. On departure day, the guide will take you back to the landing strip, where the pilot will be ready to take you to the next destination.
