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.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!
