Objectives

“The goal of any Ultramagic Experience is to bring together a group of extraordinary pilots from around the world to share unique adventures and accomplish challenging flights in some of the most spectacular places on Earth.

For this Ultramagic Experience in Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, we will attempt one of the most iconic flights ever imagined in Africa: flying over Victoria Falls. Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya — “The Smoke That Thunders” — this natural wonder offers an extraordinary setting and a unique challenge for the entire team.

Beyond Victoria Falls, the expedition will explore some of Southern Africa’s most remote and breathtaking landscapes, from the deserts of Namibia to the wildlife-rich plains of Botswana. The goal to fly in all three countries represents a significant logistical callenge, from transportation across borders to coordination with civil aviation and national parks athorities.

As always, the true objective goes beyond any single flight: to discover new places from the air, and share an unforgettable adventure with friends who believe that flying is magic.
