exclusive flying safaris

   "I have lifted my plane from the Nairobi airport for perhaps a thousand flights and I have never felt her wheels glide from the earth into the air without knowing the uncertainty and the exhilaration of firstborn adventure..."

Africa is famed as a land of limitless horizons and otherworldly experiences, but you have to know how and where to find them. By chartering exclusive light aircraft, we soar over vast landscapes and inaccessible topography to discover areas off the beaten path far, from the crowded tourist circuit. The VirginBush journey becomes an inextricable part of the adventure where one can transform into an early explorer on expedition. By comfortably covering such large expanses, VirginBush travelers can experience the diversity of tracking lions on the Laikipia plateau, following the lives of elephant families in Samburuland, encountering the untouched tribes of Lake Turkana, scaling sand dunes on the Swahili Coast and following the teeming herds that roam the Maasai Mara. What you won't experience is the minibus migration that often mars the Mara or the feeling that you've just been to the zoo. You may, however, find yourself atop a stone pinnacle in a state-of-the-art helicopter or sipping ice-cold Cosmopolitans at a desert oasis.

     "There is something about safari life that makes you forget all your sorrows and feel as if you had drunk half a bottle of Champagne bubbling over with heartfelt gratitude for being alive... "

You'll know it's time for a VB Safari when someone asks you about the soul and you think of the bottom of your shoe.  Or you'll know it's time for a VB Safari when you just want to feel the earth under your feet and experience true peace of mind inspired by true beauty.

We invite you to join us on a VirginBush Safari. Let us show you the real Africa, the Africa that so enchanted us we couldn't leave.

   "It is a world, and a life, from which one comes back changed. Long afterwards gazelles still galloped through my dreams or stood gazing at me out of their soft watchful eyes, and as I returned, each daybreak, unbelieving, to my familiar room I realized increasingly that this world would never again be the same for having visited that one..."
