May 17 and 18 A great flight over the Lenyati channel and the Chobe river took us to Livingstone. The falls are massive at this time of the year and we had another fantastic scenic flight over them. Royal Chundu is the perfect place to be pampered. The Zambezi river is really high and impressive, […]
At the beginning of this month, we were incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to witness one of the rarest Maasai ceremonies in history… The current Maasai warrior age set was being appointed a chief. A ceremony such as this one happens approximately every 15 to 20 years. A truly remarkable opportunity to not only […]
May 15 and 16 Imagine flying low level from the dry Makgadikgadi pan to the lush and green Okavango delta. What a contrast! For us used to the green hills of Africa the lush is not a surprise, but the water everywhere certainly is. We flew over elephant, zebra, oryx, buffalo, hippo… in less than […]
May 13 and 14 Before sunrise we were up in the air again, flying toward Windhoek. We cleared custom, refueled and flew to Maun, Botswana. A pleasant flight of just below 3 hours. We cleared custom, refueled and set course to the edge of the Kalahari, where the Makgadikgadi pan is. During our flight to […]
May 11 and 12 Before sunrise: a great drive in the desert, under a magnificent starry sky. Venus was so shining that we could almost see shadows casted by her. Wheels up at sunrise, for one of the most exciting flight of this air safari: the flying over the skeleton coast. It is so called […]
May 9 and 10 An immense river (Kunene means big) in the middle of desert: indescribable. This is the land of the Himba, a nomadic pastoralist tribe. They are the reasons we came here. Before sunrise we left camp to go visit a place where our exceptional guide, Clement, knew they could be. And there […]
May 7 – before sunrise; Under a magnificent starry sky Luca had a boat ride over the Zambezi river. He was starting early, to go via Maun for refueling, while the Caravan would fly directly from Livingstone to Windhoek. Antonella took some great photos of her flying over one of the biggest river of Africa, here […]
We left lovely Kaya Mawa for Victoria Falls. The giraffed C206 went via Lusaka to refuel. Kenneth Kaunda International Airport… When Luca and Samson took a flight to New York years ago, Luca chatted with a very nice old man, sitted next to him. Samson was very silent and puzzled and when he could talk […]
Our dream air safari just began! We were kindly greeted by six lions on our way to the Kanzi airstrip yesterday morning at sunrise. We could not have hoped for anything better! Yesterday was the longest day of our three weeks air adventure: Kanzi, Mombasa, Dar, Mzuzu (Malawi) and Likoma, on lake Malawi, where lovely […]
We are surprised time and time again with rare and beautiful sights on any given day here at Campi ya Kanzi… Today on the way back from the airstrip was a magical sight….
