Detailed Trip Description

This superb flying safari has monthly guaranteed departures. We fly from Lanseria Airport in Johannesburg through the prime areas of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe with a private aircraft. The aircraft and pilot stay with the group throughout, and the group gets the benefit of not having to worry about scheduled airlines time tables, thus maximizing time spent in all areas.
