Safari Skies: Explore Africa with Qatari Virtual!
Pack your bags and get ready for an awe-inspiring journey across the African skies as Qatari Virtual invites you to Safari Skies! This event will bring VAs together for an epic fly-in to Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport (FAOR)—the gateway to South Africa’s breathtaking landscapes, iconic wildlife, and rich culture.
Whether you’re arriving from the bustling hubs of the Middle East, the savannas of East Africa, or the stunning coastlines of the continent, this event will showcase the diverse routes that connect Africa to the world. Expect a mix of short-haul hops and long-haul adventures as we celebrate the spirit of aviation in one of the most dynamic regions on the planet!
For those looking to experience the journey together, we’ll also be hosting a group flight from Doha (OTHH) at 1300Z—an opportunity to take on this long-haul adventure side by side.
