TRAVEL IN STYLE AND COMFORT - FLY IN SAFARI.

Precisionar - ATR - 42

You wish to visit some of East Africa's finest National Parks, Game reserves, Private camps and beauty sports and you wish to travel in style and comfort while enjoying the luxuries of life whilst you seek a pride of Lion, heads of Elephants, Cheetah hunting, Buffalo fighting until the vanquished retreats or that rare species of Rhino in Ngorongoro so elusive.  Flying is the only solution.  

How do you do this? 

The best way of achieving this is to take a light aircraft, “Flying safari to the game parks”. Flying avoids many hours of bumping over rough road, and enables you to spend most of your time at your destination rather than in between. From the aircraft, typically at heights of between 2000 and 4000 feet above ground, your view is spectacular with large hills and mountains visible over 100 miles away. Such is the airstrip-to-airstrip philosophy that unnecessary night stops between locations are avoided completely. Each place you stay at has a specific function for you to enjoy and appreciate.

 

How much does it cost?

Our costs include almost everything except tipping and serious bar.
