Unlike Tanzania, in South Africa all the safari lodges have their own guides on staff. The experience, once you arrive at a lodge, is independent of how you got there. This makes the flying safaris a bit difficult to sell in the current economy. I have been to many safari lodges in South Africa by rental car, road transfer, charter plane, and commercial plane. It really makes no difference how you get there. Don’t be discouraged from going on safari if you can’t afford the private jets!
