There’s only one way to see so much in just 16 days—travel by private aircraft for a privileged, private, and personalized entrée into the extraordinary land and seascapes, diverse wildlife, and unique cultures of South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Malawi.

Travel with a team of experienced and professional expedition staff and top-notch local guides and enjoy the ultimate in service, convenience, and safety as you are whisked from one unique destination to the next on our private Pilatus aircraft—ideally suited for flying between the deluxe, remote lodges of southern Africa.

Travel by Private Air
Our privately chartered Pilatus PC12 aircrafts are ideally suited for this extraordinary expedition. Its ability to take off and land at short, remote bush airstrips. We set our own schedules, flying  direct and avoiding layovers, allowing us the freedom to make the most of our adventures on land. The customized interior accommodates only 8 travelers in 1x1 VIP-style window seats—so all can view the extraordinary landscapes below.

Enjoy the Finest Boutique Accommodations
Every night during our expedition, you can enjoy Southern Africa’s premier game lodges and boutique hotels, booked exclusively for our use. Each of these all-inclusive properties have been chosen for their prime location, comfort and amenities, and the highest level of personal service—offering travelers private and intimate experiences in truly spectacular settings. All properties strive to be as environmentally friendly as possible, and in many, hot water and lighting are provided by solar power.

Make a Difference
For every traveler on this program, TCS & Starquest Expeditions will sponsor a student in Children in the Wilderness—a fun, innovative camp that teaches rural children living near Africa’s parks and reserves about the importance of conservation. We hope to inspire children to become guides, field rangers, conservationists, and ecologists or to otherwise make a valuable contribution to the sustainable development of Africa’s natural resources. 

Follow Your Passion
Each destination offers a wealth of opportunities and varied experiences to pursue your own interests. Whether your passions lead you to hunt for fossils, a nighttime game drive, walking up the tallest moving sand dunes in the world, rafting on a remote Africa river, sleeping under the stars or a visit with local children, we can make it happen.
