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.

What are the issue with getting to Africa?

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.

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
