Vintage Air Rally to honour Khama�s request

The team, which was set to leave on November 12, started flying from Sitia in the Greek island of Crete.  They will transcend across Africa before reaching the final destination in Cape Town, South Africa. The journey is a charity event that will this year see 12 vintage biplanes, which were all manufactured before 1939, travel over 12, 800 km over a period of 35 days.  The journey is documented in film and will be viewed by millions all over the world.

What this means for Botswana is that the country’s unique features will be televised for the world to see at no cost. Brand Botswana and Botswana Tourism Organisation jumped onto the bandwagon and will host a tour at the Mashatu Game Reserve for the team as well as a tour around the capital.
