Safari Just For You!
About Chartered Safari Club
We at Chartered Safari Club are beyond passionate about Africa; as well as creating unique and luxurious travel experiences to Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Mozambique perfectly suited to your travel wants and needs.
Our Story
Chartered Safari Club was founded by Andrew and Giles, who decided to combine Andrew’s 30 years experience of flying and chartering flights with Giles’ 25 years experience in the travel and tourism industry.
Our goal is to offer you an incredibly unique holiday with private flights, personal tour guides, luxurious accommodation whilst flying you into some of the remotest parts of southern Africa only a chartered safari company like ours can offer.
Meet Giles
Giles entered the travel and tourism industry in 1998 and has since gained extensive experience in the leisure and corporate travel sectors.
He started his own travel agency Checkout Travel in 2003; and further developed his skills by opening up an outbound tour operator in 2011 which specialised in tours to Zanzibar and south east Asia.
Giles completed his MBA in 2020 in order to assist with developing his business acumen in dealing with an evolving and ever-changing industry.
He has travelled extensively all around the world including southern Africa, and it is in Africa where his heart lies — sitting by the campfires in remote regions of the Bushveld is without a doubt his happy place!
Giles’ favourite place is Mana Pools in Zimbabwe, because of its absolute remoteness and tranquillity. He loves birds and camping with his family and when not working — you can find him mountain biking in the forests and mountains of Knysna, South Africa, where he lives with his wife and 3 kids.

Meet Andrew
From a young age, Andrew has lived and breathed flying. He started pursuing his dream as a pilot in 1992 and since then has accumulated over 9000 hours of flying experience.
Over the last 25 years, he has flown to almost every country in Africa and has visited some of the remotest and most beautiful corners of the continent. Through his flying he’s done walking safaris in South Luangwa, fished for tiger fish in the Congo River, and cycled through rainforests in Gabon to name but a few of his African adventures!
Besides being a qualified pilot, Andrew was also the MD at Airtec, one of South Africa’s largest non-scheduled aircraft operators and he now runs a high-end private charter business. He has extensive experience in running large jet aircraft operations and understands the ins and outs of luxury private air travel having flown famous celebrities like Nelson Mandela, Madonna, Tiger Woods and Elton John. His unique love of the bush and aviation enables him to provide the perfect service to Charter Safari Club’s clients.
Andrew spends most of his holidays exploring luxury bush lodges, fishing at the coast or organising camping trips for his family. He lives in Johannesburg with his wife, two boys and three dogs.
