Gondwana Collection Namibia and Westair Aviation have launched the new Fly-in Zambezi service to improve connectivity in north-eastern Namibia.
The lodge-hopping air transfer connects accommodation in Namibia’s Zambezi region, such as Namushasha River Villa and Zambezi Mubala Lodge, as well as regional destinations such as Victoria Falls, Kasane and Maun.
Clients can book point-to-point lodge transfers or create custom lodge-hopping itineraries. Additional destinations are available upon request.
In 2025, the service will operate on a charter-only basis. From 2026, scheduled flights will be introduced three times a week – operating as circuit flights similar to the FlyNamibia Safari model.
Travellers will be able to fly to multiple Zambezi destinations according to a structured schedule with set departure times and landing points. Additionally, the aircraft will still be available for private charters.
A Cessna Grand Caravan, based in Katima Mulilo, will be used for charter flights in 2025 and the scheduled service in 2026. If demand grows, additional aircraft may be added to the route.
In terms of the 50/50 joint venture partnership agreement, Westair Aviation is responsible for operational facilitation and Gondwana Travel Centre will handle bookings as part of its travel packages.
