Overview
The Cessna 206 Stationair is a rugged single-engine piston workhorse built for exactly the kind of short, rough airstrips that define bush flying in Africa. It carries up to five passengers plus baggage into places larger aircraft cannot reach, and its high wing and fixed gear make it forgiving on gravel, grass and dirt. For short hops to remote camps, lodges and community strips, the 206 remains one of the most practical light aircraft in the region.

Chartering the Cessna 206 Stationair in Africa
For charter across Africa, the Cessna 206 Stationair is typically positioned from its home base to your departure airport, flown to your destination, and returned afterwards — the estimate you see on a route search already accounts for this full rotation. Whether it suits a given trip depends on the runway at each end, the distance, and how many seats you need. Search any route to see a live estimate for the Cessna 206 Stationair alongside every other aircraft that can fly it, then send an enquiry to have operators confirm the exact price.
Images are representative of the aircraft type — the actual aircraft, cabin layout and interior finish depend on the operating carrier. Specifications are typical planning figures for charter use and vary by individual aircraft configuration. Charter prices are computed estimates confirmed by the operating carrier through the inquiry process.
