For aviators from the UK, up to 10 light aircraft in a group, self-piloting around Southern Africa. A support aircraft, transporting the flight and tour directors, escorts the group. The tours spend up to 18 days flying to the most remote airstrips within Southern Africa. During these tours, the aircraft will typically fly about 3,000 nautical miles (5,700km) spending about 26 hours in the air. The first of these groups operated during 2005, and there have been many others to date.

The largest groups handled have been WAKO ’95 – 182 karateke to Montreal, New York and Orlando; Rentokil Achievers ’98 – 184 passengers to New York and Orlando; IKGA ‘01-136 karateke to Perth.
Previous group tour members will very often request a personal Southern African tour to be created for themselves, and sometimes for friends. Although this category of tour does not match our “special interest group tour operator” profile, we are happy to oblige.
