Fly-in destination

For those seeking the ultimate in privacy, adventure, and convenience, Buka Africa’s Fly-In option offers an exclusive escape like no other. Arrive by air into Thabazimbi Airfield (ICAO: FATI), just 15 minutes from the farm, and be whisked away to 1,500 hectares of protected bushveld where the wild feels entirely yours. We will collect you and your group, handle luggage, and even assist with last-minute grocery pickups—so your journey is seamless from sky to savannah. Whether you choose the Hunting Barn, the Kliphuis, or both, you will enjoy complete privacy: no other guests, no distractions—just the sights, sounds, and rhythms of untamed Africa.

Accomodation
The Barn offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a wood-fired hot tub, indoor and outdoor braai facilities, a fully equipped kitchen, and a spacious lawn for recreation. Designed for comfort and practicality, it accommodates six guests comfortably (up to eight with sleeper couches) and is fully fenced for safety. The Kliphuis, a historic stone cottage, provides a more intimate setting with a splash pool, kitchenette, and cozy braai area—ideal for couples, hunters, or small groups.

Once on the farm, the possibilities are endless. Explore mountain slopes, bushveld thickets, and riverfront woodlands at your own pace. Enjoy guided or unguided walks, mountain biking, kayaking, or fishing along the Crocodile River, framed by towering monkey thorn trees. Game drives reveal giraffe, zebra, kudu, nyala, eland, mountain reedbuck, and the occasional leopard, all part of the rich biodiversity preserved on this underutilised gem of a farm.

Fly-In guests receive a welcome package including:

• Welcome drinks upon arrival
• Ice and firewood for your braai and hot tub evenings
• Pre-prepared side dishes and braai packs for effortless meals
• Secure overnight aircraft parking, with optional guard services

For those who seek adventure, Buka Africa is also a premier bow hunting destination. Ethical hunting is conducted under careful guidance, with all hunters required to complete an onsite shooting proficiency assessment. The terrain is rugged and the wildlife experienced, ensuring a deeply immersive, sustainable, and respectful connection to the land.

A Fly-In stay is perfect for families, photographers, birders, astronomers, or groups seeking a unique, off-grid retreat. Optional chef services, curated catering, and a butler ensure that your experience is as luxurious or as relaxed as you desire. At Buka Africa, exclusivity doesn’t mean formality—it means space, freedom, and the unparalleled joy of calling the African wilderness entirely your own.
