Self Fly Tour Southern Africa

My partner and I are hoping to get down to South Africa next year to do the "Tour":

Capetown, Skeleton Coast, Etosho, Okavango, Vic Falls, Kalahari

Any advice on schools that can rent out aircraft would be appreciated, and if you know of anyone that has done it/read about on the net/planned to do it PLEASE let me know!

Any experience of Bush Air nr Jo'burg?

What places should be earmarked as unmissable, and where should we avoid?

We reckon on about 45hrs or so flying, do you know of places to stay at these locations?

Regards,

G.

There is a lot of planning to do. You will have to get someone down there to help. We use a travel agent there that can give you information and of course makes a few rand from your booking. No free rides. You can email her if you want and see what happens. Martie Van Dooren at [email protected] She works for Jennys Travel, a travel agency in Pretoria area but can handle any information based on what you asked. Consider she can only help on booking matters and what places are nice, prices etc. Flying questions will have to come from other sources.
As to Fly Safaris there is one at Lanseria you could contact for some assistance. www.hanksaero.com They have been around for a while.
My email is good if I can help.
