Eclipse June 21st 2001

We are looking at the possibility of chartering a plane to fly to Lusaka on the morning of the eclipse and fly back again after the event. Flying time is about 1hour 50 mins each way. The cost will be approximately R2000 per person and that includes all airport taxes and refreshments on the plane.

If you are interested then PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. If we do not get enough people to charter a plane then this deal will have to be cancelled.

Eclipse accommodation in Zambia

All hotels are fully booked for the period around the eclipse. We have however made arrangements to get camping accommodation near the centre of the shadow track, for those who may be interested in travelling to Zambia. You will need to provide all equipment. Cost will be USD 20 pp per night, minimum 2 nights. Again this needs to be booked AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, so if you are interested then PLEASE contact me. Lusaka is about 1650 km from Johannesburg.

Don’t leave it. There are THOUSANDS of tourists travelling to Africa to see this eclipse, so make up your mind NOW. If you snooze you lose.
