The local flights, “flips” as the South Africans call them, were not just a quick trip around the patch. certificates only allow us to fly N-registered aircraft. pilot certificates validated in South Africa so we could fly locally registered airplanes. Then we spent the afternoon getting checked out in the 182s, all of which helped to meet the requirements for getting our U.S. At Lanseria, a reliever airport northwest of Joburg, we spent a morning getting a briefing on local airspace and communications requirements from the tower chief. The simple two-hour cross-country from Johannesburg went so well because of the extensive preparation we had for the two days preceding our flying safari. Satisfied that all was clear, I swung around the pattern for a landing. Meanwhile, Elliott and our tracker Steve roared the open-topped Toyota Land Cruiser, the requisite safari vehicle, up and down the clearing for the same purpose. As we were taught in our training back in Johannesburg, I made a low pass down the runway, checking for game and hoping to drive away any nearby beasts. There is no fence between the preserve and the park, so the animals roam freely-including on the runway. The paved, 3,900-foot strip is the primary guest access to Ngala, a remote but luxurious lodge on a 36,500-acre private game preserve adjacent to Kruger National Park. In fact, IWP sports some “speed tape” on her horizontal stabilizer from a previous encounter with a hyena.Īside from the remote surroundings, the landing at the Ngala airstrip was uneventful and easy.
Our biggest fears were that hyenas would eat the tires or an elephant might happen by and rub his backside against an elevator-all of which have happened, reports our guide, Elliott. The red and green 1970s Cessna 182s-ZS-IWP and ZS-NOY-looked lost, all alone on the lonely strip slashed out of the South African bush. Planning for that first sighting had started months earlier at that moment, though, little did we know just how close we would get in the next week to elephants, giraffes, rhinos, lions, leopards, zebras, wildebeests, hyenas, hippos, and a host of other wildlife. We all gathered around it for a look after carefully taxiing by it-not through it. In some cases, you want to drink energy potion.The elephant dung on the runway was our first clue that we had arrived in the African bush.
