ROTAX 915 POWERED KFA SAFARI REVIEW

I have owned my airplane for 1 year now. It is hands down one of the most exciting aviation years I have had and hope only for it to get better.

After watch Trent Palmer videos back in 2019, I was instantly hooked on this type of back country aviation. Being able to take yourself anywhere and relatively quickly opens up a whole new freedom. Something I am so grateful and happy for.

The Kitplanes for Africa Safari is a plane designed in South Africa. Similar design to the Kitfox but boasts a slightly larger cabin. Something which is definitely a benefit when doing cross country trips.

In terms of performance, this engine is undeniably something that will amaze any aviator. From climb rates of over 1500fpm to take off rolls of approximately 40m. It is an airplane that gives you so much versatility when planning trips to remote areas.

Nice video Thomas, one of the best things are to be able to go to a far off remote place, take in the beauty and be back home for a late brunch.. Lovit🦾🦾

Great video! Love your channel. Don't you want to share your equipment used for recording please. Especially the audio part. Your cockpit audio is great.

I think I want one of these. What's your empty weight and max take off weight? Also, take off and landing distance? Thanks.

Very interesting, thank you! Any thoughts on how the KFA Safari compares to the Skyreach Bushcat?

Hi Thomas, I’ve also just done my PPL Renewal on the Sling at Mossel Bay. I’m very curious to know your view on Sling vs KFA Explorer / Safari. I appreciate they’re designed for different purposes, but which have you had more fun in? I’m in the market for a plane and deciding between RV, Sling or Explorer!

Nice vid! I've seen in some vids (maybe it was on Insta?) you've flown with and in quite a few Bushbaby's with the 100hp 912ULS (Jared, Duran etc.). Have you flown with or in any 914 powered Explorer's yet? I'm curious how they would compare since the Explorer is lighter than the Safari.

Nice machine Thomas, but from what I've seen online, they aren't that much cheaper than the
