CHARTER DESTINATIONS
LAJITAS ROUND-TRIP CHARTER
8 PASSENGERS
There’s a place where the desert opens up and everything else falls away. Lajitas sits on 27,000 acres between Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park — far enough from everything to feel like another country, polished enough that you won’t miss a thing.
Tee off at Black Jack’s Crossing, the number one public access course in Texas, carved right into the desert floor. Wind down at the Agave Spa. Pull up a stool at the Thirsty Goat Saloon — the kind of bar that earns its reputation.
If you want to move, there’s plenty of that too. Horseback rides through the canyons, zip lines, desert trails, and river access on the Rio Grande.
The drive from Fredericksburg takes about six hours. The flight takes one. We handle up to eight passengers on a single charter — you pick the date, we get you there and back without the windshield time.

East Africa — Kenya & Tanzania
This is waking up in a lodge so remote the only sounds are the bush coming alive around you. Lions on the move at dawn. Super tuskers roaming Amboseli with Kilimanjaro behind them. Elephants crossing a river you didn’t know existed. Sunsets that make you forget what day it is.
Ladybird Jet arranges private charter flights to East Africa’s most exclusive safari destinations — Kenya’s Masai Mara, Tanzania’s Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the private conservancies most tourists never see. Luxury eco-lodges with world-class hospitality, built to disappear into the landscape.
Go up in a hot air balloon over the migration. Take a helicopter transfer between camps. Dine under the stars at a table set for two in the middle of nowhere.
Curated by award-winning conservationist photographer Deanna DeShea, with trusted travel partners on the ground in Africa who know the terrain, the seasons, and the lodges worth booking. You tell us when — we coordinate the flight, the itinerary, and every detail between here and there.
