Travcoa, a luxury tour operator, is launching a new product line, the African flying safari.
In a similar vein as the safaris of Hemingway and British Royalty, Travcoa’s flying safari combines the concept of an expedition with private air service linking remote destinations with the guidance of a knowledgeable staff.
Travelers will fly directly between small, regional airports and private airstrips, and stay in lodges, camps and hotels, such as the five-star Relais & Chateaux Plettenberg Bay property in South Africa and the Mfuwe Lodge in Zambia.
The expeditions will explore the African people and cultures, including the Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini and missionary and anthropologist Rev. Claude Bouchet.
