Safari Air to launch Africa Safari on October
Safari Air—a private jet charter service company—will debut its “Around the World Grand East Africa Safari” on October 15.
According to the company’s chief executive and founder, Ken Jillson, Safari Air will pioneer the industry with “green” components, like by purchasing carbon offsets for passengers and applying operational components reduce emissions.
The 21-day trip will cost about $145,000 per traveler and is limited to eight passengers per aircraft.
The trip is described by the Coastline Pilot: “The 25,450-mile adventure will depart from John Wayne Airport and circle the globe, stopping at world-class hotels in Quebec City, Edinburgh, Cairo, Agra-India, Hong Kong, Guam and Honolulu. The centerpiece of the journey will be a two-week African safari by award-winning Micato Safaris beginning in Kilimanjaro and featuring one week in both Tanzania and Kenya at a well-appointed tented safari camps and lodges.”
“By flying relatively short daytime flights, jet lag is minimized, thus creating a leisurely eco-friendly around-the-world experience,” Jillson said. “The added bonus of restful stopovers in five-star hotels is that our guests get to see amazing sights along the way such as the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Taj Mahal and magnificent Hong Kong Harbor.”
