Proflight Zambia has officially launched safari season 2025 with the announcement of schedules for travellers on its Mfuwe, Lower Zambezi and Livingstone routes. The schedules are officially available for purchase on Proflight's website, VRS, and the Global Distribution System (GDS).
Proflight Director of Flight Operations, Captain Josias Walutiba said the carrier was expecting high demand for the flights, driven by an increase in multi-generational family bookings.
“We encourage everyone to explore our flight options and safari packages to find the perfect fit for their schedules and preferred lodges. It is crucial to book as early as possible to secure your desired dates and avoid missing out. Multi-generational and family groups are increasingly seeking unforgettable safari adventures in Zambia, so availability fills up quickly,” said Walutiba.
Proflight Zambia operates flights to various airstrips near these national parks and reserves, providing convenient access for safari-goers.
Mfuwe, in the Eastern Province of Zambia, serves as the gateway to the renowned South Luangwa National Park. This pristine wilderness sanctuary is famous for its abundant wildlife, including large populations of elephants, hippos, and various big cat species.
Home to the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, Livingstone offers visitors many thrilling experiences, from heart-pounding bungee jumps to serene sunset cruises.
And, from luxury lodges to rustic bush camps, Lower Zambezi offers a range of accommodation options in the Lower Zambezi region.
The Chunga schedule will be released by August as it is still subject to changes based on the route's performance in 2024. Chunga is operated similarly to Lower Zambezi, where flights with zero passengers booked 45 days out are cancelled.
Proflight has also announced several improvements in its interline partnerships and online check-in services that will help customers when booking these flights.
Travellers can now take advantage of South African Airways' online check-in services for tickets where Proflight is the first flight on the itinerary. And, although Proflight passengers can't check in online using the Emirates website yet, they can use Emirates online bookings manager to pre-select seats.
"We understand the importance of convenience for our passengers, and we are working closely with our partners to enhance our services. We are excited to offer enhanced convenience to our valued customers, allowing them to enjoy a hassle-free journey from start to finish,” said Walutiba.
