Aerial of Cape Town and Table Mountain

Destinations

The map is a starting point.

Cape Town is the conversation we have most. Kruger, Mauritius, Dubai and a farm strip in the Karoo are the same phone call. If it has a licensed runway, it is on the table.

Aerial of Cape Town and Table Mountain

Cape Town

33.97° S · 18.60° E

The route we fly most. Table Mountain before lunch, back for dinner if the day demands it.

Johannesburg at night from the air

Johannesburg

25.94° S · 27.93° E

Home. Lanseria, not the other airport. Shorter queues, a proper apron, the desk downstairs.

Lowveld airstrip at golden hour

Kruger

24.96° S · 31.59° E

Skukuza, Hoedspruit, or the lodge strip with a windsock. Dust is not a problem. Timing is.

Karoo landscape and a remote dirt airstrip from the air

The Karoo

32.25° S · 22.58° E

Farm strips, private retreats, a horizon that does not end. The aircraft is chosen for the surface.

Dawn at a private lodge airstrip

Private lodges

On request

Sabi Sand, Timbavati, Madikwe, and the camps that do not publish an ICAO code. We already know the strip.

Aerial of a Mauritian lagoon

Mauritius

20.43° S · 57.68° E

A weekend that starts on Friday afternoon and does not involve OR Tambo at 5am.

Aerial of the Bazaruto Archipelago

Mozambique

22.02° S · 35.31° E

Vilanculos, Bazaruto, Maputo. The coast, without the connection in Johannesburg.

Aerial of the Okavango Delta

Okavango

19.97° S · 23.43° E

Maun, then the camp strip. The delta is the destination. Everything else is positioning.

Namib dunes from the air

Namibia

24.73° S · 15.32° E

Windhoek, Sossusvlei, the Skeleton Coast. Distance looks different from a few thousand feet.

Dubai at dusk from a jet window

Dubai

25.25° N · 55.37° E

A night sector, a rested crew, a heavy cabin. You land as the city is still thinking about breakfast.

London and the Thames at dusk from the air

London

51.87° N · 0.37° W

Luton, Farnborough or the field that suits the onward car. The desk in Johannesburg stays on the trip.

A dark business jet on the apron at dusk

Europe

On request

Munich, Zurich, Paris, the Mediterranean. One briefing. The right aircraft. No alliance rules.
