CROSS COUNTRY AIR SAFARIS
Tours in Pretoria

Brigitte was born in Mannheim, Germany, and moved to South Africa as a little child. Brigitte was a Major in the South African Air Force. Brigitte founded Cross Country Air Safaris ( CCAS ) to provide people the opportunity of experiencing Africa the only way she believed Africa should be experienced, by flying across the country to places that allow clients to experience Africa close up and personal, without compromising safety and the comforts of first class accommodation. Brigitte Cross passed away in 2013 at the age of 66, leaving the company to her trusted friend and business partner Juliane Beckmann. Juliane has made it her mission to continue their joined vision of providing clients with first class accommodation and customer service, when creating their personalized travel itineraries to experience Africa’s most beautiful sites and locations. My education in wildlife management, combined with my experience in living in the Bush, working with African authorities to organize travel across multiple countries, and managing a Safari Lodge, provides me with the knowledge required to create personalized itineraries for my clients, and selecting only the best Safari Lodges and most knowledgeable and experienced guides. Since its inception CCAS has served over hundreds of clients, who traveled numerous kilometers across many African countries to experience Africa the CCAS way, either by car, commercial aircrafts or private air charter. We have a wide spread network of lodges and hotels in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique and others who have all been hand-picked by us to ensure that their accommodations and staff is up to our standards. Let us chart a course for you through the wildlife areas and game reserves of Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
