Luxury Southern African Air Safaris

The 1944 DC3 Dakota and the two 1954 Convair 440, all meticulously restored to their former glory combine the charm and elegance of first class style, which for many of their passengers is one opportunity to relive the romance of a bygone era. Because they fly at the lower altitudes and slower speeds characteristic of their era, one can experience the exclusive 'birds eye' view and of course capture some of the most spectacular scenery! The flight crew consist of qualified and highly experienced aviators who are always willing to share their aviation knowledge and always welcome passengers to join them in the cockpit.

Join us to one of the many exotic destinations in one of the most Luxurious aircraft in the world, from 3 to 13 days to private game camps in the Kruger Park, Okovango Delta of Botswana, Victoria Falls and the mighty Zambezi River, Lake Kariba, Swakopmund and Lüderitz to the Bazaruto Archipelago off the Mozambique coast, and the unspoilt white sandy beaches of the luxury Indigo Bay Resort, with some of the world's best fishing and diving on the nearby coral reef. Although there are fixed departures these luxury aircraft can also be booked for group charters and corporate events.
