Times are typical block times for the aircraft usually available in this market, not a schedule. Every leg is priced per mission for the whole aircraft; the quote depends on aircraft, date, positioning and landing permissions.

Estimate Maun airport transfers yourself with the helicopter vs car & ferry calculator, the helicopter charter cost calculator and the passenger & luggage calculator. All tools sit together in the helicopter calculators hub.

Helicopters operate from the airport itself

Maun is the Delta's rotary and bush-plane gateway; helicopter departures to camps are standard practice here.

Luggage

Botswana is the strictest market on the site: soft bags only, typically 20 kg including hand luggage. Camps enforce it.

Time saved

The shortest curated leg is about 20 minutes; the ground or water alternative on the same pairing is measured in hours, not minutes.

Arriving by private jet?

Jets clear at Maun or Kasane; the camp leg is flown by helicopter or bush plane depending on the concession.
