NamibWeb.com - The online guide to Namibia: Sefofane Air

About Sefofane
Sefofane was formed in Botswana in 1991. Since inception the main focus has remained on providing an efficient, safe and reliable service to our guests. Our pilots are carefully selected at the outset to ensure we have the right combination of personality and aptitude for our company. After selection they are rigorously trained to ensure that a culture of safety and excellence is perpetuated.
The Sefofane owned and operated fleet consists of approximately twenty aircraft l Cessna 206,s, 210ls and Cessna Caravans. Additionally Sefofane leases a diverse variety of aircraft, Beech King Air 200ls, Pilatus PC12ls and occasionally larger aircraft.

Sefofane is also licensed, registered and operates in Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Our Offices in Windhoek, Harare and Lanseria airport South Africa, give Sefofane the most widespread foot print of any charter company in Southern Africa. From these offices our fleet of aircraft can be effectively managed for the operations that are conducted in each country.
Sefofane is mainly engaged in servicing the tourist industries in each country, though it is also engaged in flying a lot of corporate and government clients as well. Moving discerning foreign guests between remote locations is a business that we know and understand well. Our aircraft were bought to ensure that our average fleet age is younger than the same aircraft operated by our competitors. Indeed recently Sefofane has bought aircraft directly from the Cessna factory. The aircraft are meticulously maintained to ensure that we are able to deliver a consistent and reliable service.
Sefofane is continually evolving and adapting to meet new challenges. Through all of this we remain focused on our core values: providing our clients with a safe, quality and consistent air charter service.

The Namibian operation is engaged in transporting guests to the principle tourist destinations in Namibia. Namibia is a large country and its key destinations are far apart. This makes air charter an obvious solution for tourism. The key destinations Sefofane services in Namibia are: Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Damaraland, The Skeleton Coast, Etosha and the Kunene River. Some of these destinations represent the finest wilderness areas Namibia has to offer. The base for operations is in Windhoek. From here all reservations are captured and aircraft scheduled.
