HELICOPTER SAFARIS
Undoubtedly, the ultimate fly-in safari has to be the helicopter safari. No other mode of transport can ever match the exhilarating experience and versatility that game viewing by chopper offers. The helicopter is able to land and explore some of the most remote locations on our planet, areas that are not accessible by vehicle or even on foot.
The aircraft of choice is the turbine powered Bell 407, which is designed to strike an ideal balance between performance, reliability and comfort. Up to five passengers can be accommodated, each with a window seat.
ITINERARY
The trip begins in Johannesburg within departure from Lanseria airport and the first stop is the capital of Botswana, Gaborone (flight time 1h 10 mins). After immigration, customs and refuelling we leave for the second stop, the gateway to the Okavango, Maun (2h 30 mins). The route takes us over vast areas of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and chances are good to see springbok, eland, gemsbok, ostrich and other desert creatures. After Maun we fly into the Okavango Delta with its endless open floodplains, forest islands and immense variety of wildlife.- Tubu Tree Camp
