Bush aviation plays an essential role in some parts of the world. In regions with scarce infrastructure, no prepared airstrips, and rough terrain, bush pilots offer much-needed connectivity. While Africa contains several major hubs, sometimes the easiest way to reach your destination is to hop onto a single-engine aircraft.
As such, bush pilots cover a wide range of missions, from transporting tourists and humanitarian personnel to delivering cargo and carrying out medical evacuations. They even fly skydivers. In Africa, bush aviation offers unique flying perks. From seeing elephants, hippos, and crocodiles wallowing by the river when flying into the game parks, to crystal clear waters over the Lake, and the beautiful mountains towering above the barren landscape.
It’s an office view that most would kill for. We start our flight at Ponta Do Ouro, Mozambique and head south into South Africa. We veer into Lesotho briefly and then return to South Africa. Our total flight is 515 nm covered in 8 legs.
