Seeing the world from the skies is so much more majestic, eye-opening – it offers unparalleled views to the end of horizons from such a height that trees turn to grass, and millions of migrating animals in the open African Savannah form patterns never-before-seen.
It’s hard to imagine an African safari from a bird’s eye view, counting lions from the comfort of your plane seat. But Roar Africa is offering adventurers the chance to soar through half-pipe mountain ranges and scour endless Savannah in the safari of a lifetime.
Launching in 2018, a brand new Singita Private Jet Experience will show tourists in Africa a unique safari experience.
As tourism on the continent picks up, and new operators design new ways to experience what is on offer here, companies like Roar Africa are combining luxury with adventure.
Beginning in Kilimanjaro, the private jet carries explorers from Tanzania to Zimbabwe and into South Africa. The trip offers highlights: Like witnessing the entire Great Migration spectacle near the Serengeti National Park; luxury in the Singita Sabora Tented Camp which is situated on thousands of acres of private wilderness; and exploring South Africa’s Sabi Sand Game Reserve.
Conservation and Tourism
In recent years, governments have been keen on creating a synergy between tourism and conservation. Coining the term eco-tourism, the concept is to educate tourists on the importance of the environment, by letting them enjoy themselves whilst experiencing what Nature has to offer. It’s in the hope that the more people talk about, and experience firsthand, the issues facing the environment – then the more people are likely to want to do something about it.
With conservation now the main mission statement of all of Africa’s game reserves, operators are looking to embrace eco-tourism to become beneficial for both the local communities and environment, and the companies themselves. With wildlife numbers depleting across the globe, conservationists are urging tour operators to do more in protecting the environment.
Due to this, new and eco-friendly ways are cropping up all over Africa, with the Nile Bungee jump, to “Glamping“ in the Masai Mara – they are all fixed on bringing tourists both unique and pleasurable experiences without harming the environment.
Experts are optimistic that these projects will bring a sustainable income for local communities and, in turn, protect the continent’s treasured natural resources.
