The sturdy undercarriage and large “bush” tires of the rugged Douglas DC-3 deliver direct access to short runways and airstrips near each destination or safari lodge. The stand-up cabin and safety procedures are managed by an experienced crew member, who also offers a tailored Bushtracks amenity kit, and first class snacks and drinks services on each flight. There is a bathroom in the rear of the cabin, and your checked bags are personally handled by the crew and the private charter staff. Supported by Africa’s best international airline, South African Airways, this airliner has relatively few hours on its airframe, and is dedicated to regional leisure flights.
