We explore new frontiers, we inspire and we innovate to create unique and life-changing luxury adventure experiences and deliver them through our core expertise, aviation.
With an era of true exploration behind us, our pioneering spirit continues to lead us to scout for new locations and to discover unique safari routes. Routes less travelled, where you’ll be introduced to some of the worlds most fascinating people, places and the most incredible diversity of Mother Earth’s wildlife, all of which can be found in the expansive backyard that we call our home.
From our executively configured aircraft at Scenic Air Charters through to our transformative and pioneering flying safari experiences at Scenic Air Safaris, Scenic Air is now synonymous as the only air safari and charter operator in Africa to develop and fly cross border, epic trans-African flying safaris.

We curate truly unique, tailor-made flying safaris to the most amazing and off the beaten track destinations, offering infinite ways to explore the vast wilderness of the African continent, combining luxury with economy and the convenience of flying privately.

Welcome to our innovative executive flyer program, designed to offer ‘fractional air share’ and ‘flying card’ options with key benefits for the regular travelling executive.
Whether it’s luxury accommodation, private jet or helicopter charter or first class flights, we work around the clock to ensure your trip runs smoothly.
Extremely safe, provided you choose an air operator who applies and adheres to the required safety standards for maintenance and safety, and uses experienced bush pilots.
That will depend on how many people are on board and how far we need to fly. Generally for flying safaris, we say 15 kgs packed in soft bags. For private air charters, we always advise you at the beginning of your enquiry, as weight is route dependent.
Anytime is a good time to travel to Africa. What you want to see and where you would like to experience will depend upon the most suitable season. For example; to see The Wildebeest Migration in Kenya, July to October is best, while the Migration in Northern Tanzania occurs in May to June, with calving season in February and March. Some seasons are sunnier than others, so ask and we will be happy to explain how it all works.
That all depends on your passport. Some visas can be obtained on arrival and some visas must be applied for in advance from your country of residence. Ask and we’ll let you know the best way to do it.
Some inoculations are recommended. Your medical practitioner is the best person to advise which ones, as many are area or region specific. We advise all our guests to take a course of anti-malarial tablets. Again, your medical practitioner or tropical disease centre are the best people to advise on this.
Africa is as safe as most places in the world. Take the necessary precautions to secure your valuables and to travel with reputable companies and you will no doubt have a fabulous time.
As long as you don’t attempt to touch wild animals there is no reason to be afraid of them. Generally, most game viewing takes place from the security of an elevated 4x4 safari vehicle which animals see as a solid object. Some camps and lodges are fenced and some are not fenced, but have local security guards posted at strategic points to ward off any wandering animals. Provided you stick to marked pathways in camps and lodges and follow the advice of your safari guide, there is no reason to worry.
That depends on the route we fly, the destinations we fly to, altitude, airstrip length and weather. Over short distances and longer bush airstrips, we recommend 10 passengers maximum on the Executive Cessna Grand Caravan and four passengers on the smaller Cessna 206 Stationair.
Not at all; through our experience of pioneering unique and less travelled routes, we favour the use of smaller airports. Forget about security lines, taking off your shoes and emptying your pockets. Our team has worked hard to put in place tried and tested systems to ensure VIP clearances, and that customs formalities are timely and efficient. Smaller airports mean a faster turnaround and are generally much more efficient than using scheduled flights through larger airports.
Being a little afraid of flying is actually a normal ‘self preservation’ instinct and we are used to being asked this question. Our pilots are all certified flight instructors and have a good, tried and tested ways of making our guests feel comfortable and at ease with flying in smaller aircraft. Just let us know if your ‘self preservation’ instinct is higher than normal and we will hold your hand from start to finish.
