Getting Around

Plane

The most efficient way to travel between cities in this region is by plane. Small domestic flights are provided by the companies Sansa and Nature Air. Nature Air has a better flight record in terms of crashes, and they sponsor more community development programs than Sansa. Flights almost always leave in the morning. In the afternoon the winds pick up creating dangerous flying conditions for small aircraft. Do not board afternoon flights.
