How do you get from one safari camp to the next?
Often, you fly.
In the remote conservancies of East Africa, camps can be a day's drive apart over rough tracks. A bush flight covers that distance in under an hour.
The aircraft are small, usually 6 to 12 seats, and you sit close to the window. Luggage is soft-sided and weight-limited.
The airstrips are dirt. Many have no terminal, only a windsock and your next guide waiting beside the vehicle.
From the air, you see the land as the animals use it: river lines, game trails, herds moving across open plains.
Before landing, the pilot may circle once to clear the strip of zebra or giraffe.
You step off, and your next game drive begins within minutes.
