Explore Our Safari Destinations by Air
Africa’s wildest places are often the hardest to reach, but that’s where the real magic lives. Through our network of trusted air charter providers, we connect you to iconic and remote safari destinations across Southern and East Africa via private charter flights, scheduled lodge connections, and scenic helicopter access.
From fixed-wing lodge transfers to Hwange and Mana Pools, to helicopter flights over Victoria Falls, we ensure that your journey is not only smooth and time-saving, but also a part of the experience.
Whether you’re chasing light in the Namib Desert, flying into the Okavango Delta at golden hour, or transferring between camps in the Serengeti or Masai Mara, we’ll get you to the right place, at the right time, with the least amount of friction, and the greatest sense of freedom.
Why Book With Us?
We’re not just agents, we’re safari specialists with a deep understanding of photographic travel, on-the-ground logistics, and what it takes to make your journey seamless from take-off to touchdown.
When you book through Photo Safari Company, you benefit from:
✅ Specialist knowledge of safari air routes and access
We know which aircraft can reach which airstrips, how to coordinate with your camps, and what permits are needed - so you don’t have to.
✅ Connections with trusted regional operators
We only work with reputable, safety-first charter providers who understand remote lodge access and game reserve operations, including Mack Air, Wilderness Air, Safari Logistics, Halsted’s Aviation, Helicopter Horizons, and more.
✅ Experience managing photography-specific travel
From extra baggage for lenses to light-driven flight schedules, we tailor air charters around your photographic goals.
✅ Solutions for safari goers of all kinds
While we specialise in photographic travel, we also coordinate air services for families, solo travellers, lodge-hoppers, and tour operators across the luxury and mid-tier spectrum.
✅ Complete itinerary integration
We don’t just book flights — we align them with ground transfers, border crossings, lodge check-ins, and your broader safari experience.
✅ Time-saving and stress-free planning
Instead of juggling flights, baggage allowances, and lodge coordination yourself, we handle it all — efficiently, clearly, and with your safari goals in mind.
✈️ From Victoria Falls to Mana Pools, Maun to Khwai, or Serengeti to the Delta, we’ll make the journey just as exceptional as the destination.
