The top end of the African safari market (fly-in safaris), offer you the opportunity to have a scenic flight and to fly to one or more protected areas. A fly-in safari not only saves a considerable amount of time, but provides the traveller with the added benefit of viewing some of the most spectacular regions of Africa from an aerial perspective. They are generally used for tailor-made private safaris.
