PRIVATE FLY-IN SAFARI.
Seamless Travel. Exceptional Africa.
At African Aerial Safaris, our passion is crafting boutique, tailored journeys across Southern and East Africa. Our signature experience – the Fly-In Safari – combines the thrill of private aviation with stays at some of the most exclusive luxury safari camps in handpicked destinations.
The Cessna Mustang is a recent addition to our fly-in safari fleet. It is an exceptionally versatile and reliable aircraft that is ideal for families or small groups of up to four. Its speed, comfort, and ability to access a wide range of airports allow us to connect even the most remote destinations seamlessly.
EXCLUSITITY
For each journey, we handpick exclusive-use villas or family units at select safari lodges, ensuring that your family or group enjoys complete privacy. This means exclusive aircraft use, private game drive vehicles, dedicated guides, personal chefs, and attentive butlers – creating a truly intimate atmosphere where family and friends’ time becomes even more special.
Unmatched freedom
A private aircraft elevates the safari experience to a whole new level. For families and friends traveling together, it offers unmatched privacy, comfort, and flexibility. No time is wasted on unnecessary layovers, detours, or long, bumpy transfers – just more time immersed in Africa’s wild beauty.
The magic of a Fly-In Safari also lies in its adaptability. Your itinerary can evolve in real-time should the need arise.
Imagine starting your day in Tswalu, surrounded by the ochre-hued dunes of the Kalahari, and ending it with sundowners along the glittering waterways of the Okavango Delta. From there, perhaps a walking safari in the Lower Zambezi National Park, before concluding your journey on the sandy beaches of Lake Malawi, enjoying the spectacular African sunset.

A trip to remember!
Earlier this year, we hosted guests on a truly spectacular Fly-In Safari that showcased some of Africa’s most extraordinary wilderness areas. The journey began at the Fireblade Aviation VIP terminal at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, where our co-founder and highly experienced pilot, Riaan, welcomed the group aboard their private aircraft.
