The aircraft that fly to AfrikaBurn

Two ways to get to AfrikaBurn 2026 by air: the Bell 407 turbine helicopter — about 1 hour total, landing at a private helipad minutes from the AfrikaBurn arrival gate with a SkyBurn vehicle to your camp included — or the Pilatus PC-12 luxury turboprop for groups who want a pressurised cabin, leather seats and air conditioning into Tankwa Airstrip with a shuttle to the gate included in the fare.
