Safari Legends by Private Air
Five Departures in 2025
Private Air Travel is Essential for Safari Legends
The Safari Legends itinerary covers remote and diverse wilderness areas, making private air travel indispensable. Chartered aircraft ensure efficient and comfortable access to our destinations. Direct flights to MalaMala Private Reserve, bordering Kruger National Park, allow us to maximize exploration time with a timely arrival for an afternoon game drive. In Botswana, Mashatu Lodge in the secluded Northern Tuli Private Game Reserve and the Private Kwara Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta both require private air to avoid forced overnights and lengthy road transfers. Flying privately to Chobe National Park allows for a flexible departure time and stopover for a river cruise, which scheduled flights can't accommodate. Private air travel effortlessly links destinations, controls timing to maximize opportunities, avoids backtracking and overnights to catch early commercial flights, and provides efficient customs and immigration processes. Additionally, it offers enhanced security, comfort, and exclusivity, ensuring a seamless and luxurious safari experience.

In Our Travelers' Words
The Peacock

Multi-Generational Safari
"Our youngest, Emily is almost 7. And mom and dad are in their late 70's. And the rest of us fall somewhere in between - and I can tell you we ALL just had the best time! It's tricky to have a plan that appeals to everyone. The thought of our daily adventure was so exciting, that no one minded the early morning wake-ups - not even the teenagers! They were often the first ones on the jeep - as they couldn't wait to start the drive each day."

"My father-in-law had always wanted to go to Africa, and invited us all to go with him to celebrate his 80th birthday. We went with no expectations, and the trip was beyond anything we could have imagined. In each camp we were exhilarated to be so unbelievably close to animals. Our guides really turned the safari into an educational experience for the girls with in-depth discussions on not just the wildlife, but also history, culture, and the relationship between tourism and the environment. It was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime trip – but we hope to return."
