Having flown hundreds of thousands of nautical miles in all manner of aircraft and spent more than a decade photographing some of the most remote and spectacular wilderness areas of Southern Africa, they founded Aerial-Africa, with the clear vision to share the magic of Africa from above through ultra luxurious private safaris.
Through their unique and specialized offerings, Aerial Africa has become the quintessential tour operator for those wishing to experience and photograph Africa in a private, luxurious and authentic way .
