Contrary to popular belief, Africa actually has quite a modern infrastructure in all the main centres and even in most outlying regions.  However, some tourists love visiting some of the magnificent, unspoilt regions.  When your heart yearns to explore some magical places off the beaten track, we can arrange for you to get there by airboat or by fly-in.

Visit the magnificent Lake Jozini in Swaziland, or Zambia’s Luangwa River, Lake Bangweulu or the Barotse Floodplains, and make it an experience to remember by arriving in style on an airboat. Seated in an airboat, you will skim the water’s surface as you traverse the lily clusters and the marsh grasses part around you. You could also charter an airboat to go fishing, birding or watch game at a provincial or national park.
