Africa Fly In Fishing Trips

Having been in the tourism trade in Southern Africa now for almost 20 years, I now have a pretty good idea of what makes a what is a good African experience and what will rate as an average experience. As there are so many choices out there in the travel industry, a person can easily get confused with what he or she wants form their respective African holiday. It is very important I tell prospective African "Newbies" to try and travel with a knowlegable guide as this will take so much strain of your already overloaded senses.There are probably 4 important rules that you should follow as explained below.
1/ Planning,Planning, I can not stress how important this is as you need to know well in advance what you want to get out of your holiday and more or less what to expect.There are many facets to this but I will explore this at a later date.

2/ The cost of the holiday is very important as it will dictate your package that you will eventualy recieve from your tour operator.Having said that the travell market is very competitive so it is very often possible to arrange a decent holiday on a fairly tight budget.

3/ Guided travels are the best way to go as it offers you the chance to travel and spend time with highly rated guide who will share details of the intimate working of the wildlfe or fishing grounds which go hand in hand.

Over the years I have realized that time has become a major problem that affect's us all and the person coming on holiday fall under the same umbrella of time constraints.In the"old days" a person who came to Africa had time on their side so any little setback, [which trust me there were many as the bush is full of small suprises] was not a big problem.
However now in our modern times people on holiday face time constraints. The way to over come this is for example if you wanted to do some fishing is to book a Africa fly in fishing trip for example.This fly in type of holiday is something I really promote as it is great time saver. On for example if you were to drive you would propably spend a good 6 hours in a vehicle as a posed to just 1-2 hours in a small plane a great time saver for the fisherman who would like to spend as much time on the waters as possible.
I have done many years of mobile safaris and now flying my guest's around and I can clearly see how much time we save and have in the day to to important activities, like for example fishing or time to explore your enviroment. The choices are endless. The other important aspect that I like to stress is the abilty to be flexible. With a aircraft on a Africa fly in trip based with you everyday you can almost leave any time. So if the fishing game viewing is particulary good you can delay your departure. With an aircraft you are able to explore additional countries with ease. I often combine Namibia,Botswana (Okavango Delta)and the Victoria fall's(Zambia) with consumate ease, all within 10 days This is only possible if you use a aircraft.
The other important question I often recieve is the cost factor. I have seen that the major part of the cost is not really the flying if you can travel in a group of 4 which gives a will give you a large saving on you air travel inside Africa by using a small aircraft and basing it with you for the duration of your holiday. What is even better is if your pilot is also then your guide, so it is the all in one package for the ultimate Africa fly in trip. On a fishing safari to Africa, planning is essential as it falls in the realm of a special interest trip using a small aircraft is a absolute must !
