You will be able to check in at the Safari Air desk after arriving on your flight to Beira, this safari is planned to link with the Airlink flights from Johannesburg which is the most commonly used route for this destination.
The flight in by light aircraft is about 45mins and you will get to see a birds eye view of the rural landscapes and small farms as you reach the Pungwe River which forms the boundary of the park before landing.
You will be met on the airstrip and your safari starts with a game drive into camp so make sure you are already with cameras and binoculars from the beginning.
