Barafu Flying Safaris · Private charter
Your aircraft. Your timetable.
A private charter flies only your party, leaves when you are ready and lands at the airstrip nearest your camp. Barafu arranges the aircraft through licensed Tanzanian charter operators and plans the whole journey around it.
Direct
No stops
Scheduled bush flights often stop at several airstrips. A charter flies straight to yours.
Remote parks
Katavi and Mahale
The far western parks, including the chimpanzees of the Mahale Mountains, are most practical by charter.
Luggage
More room
Camera kit, golf clubs or children's gear can be agreed with the operator in advance.
Timing
Your schedule
Leave after breakfast, or wait for a last sighting. The aircraft goes when you go.
How a charter is priced
Charters are priced per aircraft, per flying hour, and include the aircraft's return to base. They suit families and groups who fill the seats, or any trip to remote parks where scheduled flights don't go.
Barafu does not own or fly aircraft. We book licensed operators, check the routing against your camps and park rules, and build the ground journey around the flights.
