Fitted with bespoke leather seating – a total of 8 seats in all – the interior configuration provides maximum comfort whilst offering excellent viewing opportunities during each of the flights along the SkySafari route.With ‘fast track’ check-in, experienced professional pilots and a warm and friendly service at each point of the journey, SkySafari’s executive air service provides that extra special touch, one that has made SkySafari known as the premier African safari experience.
