Flying Safari with Scandinavian Seaplane Training AS
Every safari has an instructor
Every flying safari is accompanied by an instructor. In many ways, that is what makes these trips special. The instructor is there as a safety pilot, but also as someone who knows the environment. They help with weather decisions, route planning, and all the small details that are difficult to learn without local experience. For many pilots, this takes away pressure. You are not expected to know everything. Instead, you get to explore Norway alongside someone who has spent years flying there. The atmosphere tends to be relaxed. There is time for questions, discussions and sharing experiences.
Built around your interests
Most safaris begin with a simple question: What would you like to see? Some people dream of flying through narrow fjords. Others want to visit remote mountain lakes or spend evenings in small hotels beside the water. From there, Daniel and his team help shape a route that fits the group's interests, experience level and the expected weather conditions. Plans can still evolve along the way. Sometimes a different region offers better conditions. Sometimes a place turns out to be worth staying an extra day.

"Everyone arrives with different ideas. We build the trip from there."
Choosing the right setup.
Most flying safaris take place in either the Cessna 180 or the Cessna 206. The Cessna 180 works particularly well for one or two pilots travelling alongside an instructor. The Cessna 206 opens up additional possibilities. Due to the cargo door and flap configuration, the aircraft is limited to five seats, but it provides considerably more space for passengers and luggage. This makes it well suited to longer trips and groups travelling with extra equipment. Whichever aircraft is used, an instructor always remains part of the journey.

The time between flights
After landing, the pace slows down. Some evenings end in a small fjord hotel overlooking the water. Others involve simple guesthouses, a barbecue by the lake or planning the next day's route over dinner. That becomes just as memorable as the flights themselves.
