Archipelago Charters

Archipelago Charters is a helicopter and aircraft charter company based in Pretoria, South Africa. It flies from Pretoria to the Bazaruto Islands in Mozambique and beyond. The company says the Bazaruto Islands are accessible only by air.

The fleet is made up of Airbus and Bell helicopters, chosen for the conditions, passengers and missions of the Mozambique coast. The Airbus EC120 is a light, single engine helicopter with five seats for quick transfers and training. The Airbus EC130 (H130) has up to seven seats and a quiet Fenestron tail rotor. The Airbus H125 seats up to six and is used for utility and emergency work.

The Airbus EC155 (H155) is a twin engine helicopter with up to nine passengers in a VIP setup. The Bell 430 is a twin engine helicopter that seats up to eight and suits executive, medical and utility roles. Its fixed wing charter option reaches the Bazaruto Islands, and the fleet includes a Pilatus PC-12.

Services include Bazaruto Islands transfers, custom charters, private and VIP charters, and corporate packages. Group bookings offer special rates and coordinated logistics for families, friends or corporate teams.

Additional services cover aerial survey and mapping for geological research, exploration drill support, utility inspections, and aerial construction support. The company also offers fire fighting and rescue flights, game work and conservation support, and aerial cinematography for film, TV and advertising.

Experiences include a paradise island picnic, sunset champagne flights, helicopter surfing, whale watching tours, island lunch and spa packages, and deep sea fishing excursions. The company says each moment is crafted to thrill and inspire. It also works in partnership with Amava Safaris.
