I'm fairly new here but it's seems the biggest issue with hunting africa is getting there has anybody tried a group charter direct from the states.and fly in to friendly countries like nambia.or a smaller airport in south africa.there were several charters out of miami.dont know who is left though.no layovers,no delta,no Paris,no London.

By no layovers do you mean a non-stop flight?
If so, then you are looking at chartering a big plane, something like a 777. A search for chartering a 777 cost came up with a price of about $30K per hour so a 15 hour flight would cost $450K.
If you had it booked with 350 passengers each would be paying about $1300 each way.

When I worked in Angola, I flew on the "Houston Express", a dedicated non-stop charter flight from Houston to Luanda. It was originally on a World Airways MD-11 and later a Atlas Air 747. I flew this roughly every 28 days for 5-1/2 years.

A charter flight for oil workers between Houston, Texas, and Luanda, Angola was probably the most fabled Jumbo Jet route. We grabbed a seat on the very last one, and it was an amazing AvGeek treat.

Good morning from Montana.
I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.
Best,
Kelly Palmer
