For the 2024 jacaranda season in Joburg we took a helicopter trip with Bastion Aviation to see the splendid display of trees from above. It got us hooked on this kind of travel.
Bastion Aviation offers a fleet of luxury jets, helicopters, and safari aircraft. They manage all logistics, which leaves you free to enjoy your trip to the fullest. Whether you have to arrange a flight for VIPs, corporate events, groups, bush safaris, or aerial utility work, Bastion Aviation is at your service. They'll help you choose the right aircraft for your needs, tailored to your budget. There are charter and lease options in both fixed-wing aircraft ranging from a four-person Cessna 210 to a Beechcraft 1900 C/D that can carry 19 people, and helicopters, which include the Robinson R44, the Airbus H125 (B3e), and the Agusta 139. For fixed-wing plane and jet journeys, Bastion Aviation makes use of VIP lounges at Lanseria Airport and Cape Town International Airport.
If taking to the skies is not for you, sister company Bastion Drive offers a luxury transfer service and chauffeur-driven vehicle hire. The fleet includes Mercedes V250 and V300 vans that can be used for anything from hotel and airport transfers to long-distance transfers to lodges in any of the provinces surrounding Gauteng. Each vehicle can seat up to six people, which makes this the perfect service for group or family outings. The V-Class is the primary option, while Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and armoured vehicles are also part of the fleet. The transfer service comes with a highly qualified driver, refreshments, WiFi, cold hand towels, and phone charging facilities. To sweeten the deal, cheese boards, Champagne and wine, and meals in collaboration with Culinary Warehouse are also on offer.
When it's more about the journey than the destination, Bastion Drive partners with Thabo the Tourist for guided tours of Joburg's best art districts and galleries using their fleet of luxury Mercedes V-Class vehicles.
