The Bateleurs - Our latest mission

Does your environmental project need an aerial perspective? The Bateleurs provides a aviation service to environmentalists throughout Southern Africa.

Support for the Bateleurs

Please would you help us to conserve and protect our environment by letting us know of environmental organisations or individuals who need our assistance, or by forwarding this newsletter to conservation or environmental agencies that could benefit from an aerial perspective. Please remember that we do not fly for the benefit of any commercial enterprise, and we do not transport people from place to place.
