Fulfil any lingering 'Out of Africa' or Biggles fantasies with a biplane flight over the Kenyan savannah.
The beautiful scenery of the East African plains is even more stunning from the air, and there's no better way to see it than from a new biplane designed to look and fly like the original Weaver Aircraft Company Wacos that were considered the best sports biplanes of the 20s and 30s, the golden age of African aviation.
The Waco has an open cockpit and can accommodate two passengers seated side by side in front of an experienced pilot. Original Travel can either arrange a game flight (complete with the 'Out of Africa' music played over the state-of-the-art sound system) or even a transfer between lodges, with your bags travelling overland as there's not much room on the plane. There is also a camera system on board so you can take away a tape of what will be one of the most memorable experiences of any Kenyan safari. Robert Redford sadly not included.
