Fully inclusive personal service is our motto 

From when you arrive until you leave our shores, we willtake care of all your needs. We will pickup from the airport, do all transfers between hotels, lodges and airfields. Flight licenses, fuel, flight planning permits and dealing with the authorities are our worries.

SAFETY

Our aircraft are fully comprehensively insured, we also also arrange for medical evacuation insurance on your trip in case of a medical emergency. We monitor your progress along your route and keep you updated with metereological information whenever possible

ACTIVITIES

Fom exciting gamedrives, bushwalks, scuba diving, flying a jet to more serene activities like golf, boat cruises or birdwatching; leave all the organising to us and enjoy your flying and your holiday. Africa has so much to take in all the sights and sounds

No need for thousands of hours of experience but a good attitude towards Airmanship and respect for our craft are essential.

We value our safety record and do not need hooligans or accidents on our shift. Our instructors will do your checkrides and organize the validation of your airman’s certificate during the first two days in SA. You will also be given a refresher in basic cross-country flying, hints on bush flying techniques, survival, air traffic comm’s and rules of the air.  

Destinations are handpicked, taking in well known “must have seen whilst you are there” tourist attractions but the emphasis lies on variety, uniqueness and exclusivity.

Bushveld alternates with coral reefs, the waters of the Okavango with the red dunes of the Namib Desert , the Drakensberg mountains with the sands of the Kalahari.
Africa , at least the southern bit that we frequent, is not an inherently dangerous place.

We will however at times be very close to nature and some of the flora and fauna that we encounter come with long teeth and big feet.

They are in their natural habitat and we have to respect that.  
Heed the advice of your guides and you will log an exquisite experience in your memory bank. We will in good time advise you on the type of clothes and toiletries to bring along. This much depends on the season and the type of sortie that we are doing.

FLYING SEASON  
Africa is Sunshine country.  
We know vaguely what a warm front looks like, mainly from flying in other parts of the world. So, the weather in Southern Africa is entirely flyable the whole year round but one carries an increased risk of afternoon Charlie Bravos during the Inland rainy seasons. Fog and low cloud can hamper early morning departures during the dry winter season.

The ITCZ hits Zambia whilst the year changes and Antarctic storm winds whip the Cape of Good Hope in July August  
Since we are doing VFR Sightseeing trips we will never compromise safety, nor do we want cancellation hassles.  
African village life, bush walks, game drives, diving, fishing, golf as well as visits to Gold and diamond mines are on the menu.

Several interesting landing strips will ensure there is little chance of getting bored. Don’t get us wrong, you do not need to be an athlete to come with us.

Flying and outdoor activities are mixed with pure relaxation and chill-out times.
 
Firstly we don’t want to be held for emotional stress or cruelty and what’s more, a few in our team have by now also reached middle age and prefer to rather suffer in comfort and luxury. Some of you will want to white-water raft down the Zambezi while others prefer the serenity of a Cape Golf course .

Riding on an African Elephant will be a turn on for some of you, whilst others swim and relax in the healing waters of Ai-Ais.

Pilots more than any other creatures are foremost individualists, we know this and will as far as possible cater for your special desires.

It is always nice to have a Co-pilot that you know to share your experiences and your other interests besides the aviating.
Husbands, wives and concubines are entirely acceptable.

As in the air, safety on the ground is our prime concern.
That’s why we fly when it’s dry.

In any case, who wants to work the whole year round?

We have, whenever possible planned alternate routes and destinations in case the sky turns nasty but our timing should reduce this to a minimum.

Fly:
- Inland areas - April to September
- Coastal Cape- November to Jan
 
Avoid:
- Cape-west coast during winter rain season
- Equatorial Africa during monsoon
- Highveld afternoons during rainy season
