Pick an airline and chances are it goes to Joburg – Africa’s commercial hub – and Cape Town receives direct flights from major cities in Europe, America and the Far East. There are daily commercial flights from Durban, Cape Town and Joburg to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, Phalaborwa, Mala Mala and Hoedspruit. You can also charter a flight and land close enough to your lodge for a direct transfer. But don’t fret about the details, drop us a line - contact us - and we’ll organise everything for you.
NB: With our new exclusive flight routing, you can now fly direct from the Kruger (Skukuza) to Victoria Falls (Livingstone) - or vice-versa. This cuts out the need to overnight in Johannesburg, meaning you can go on a game drive and see the mighty Falls in the same day! |

Just say the word in your enquiry - contact us - and we will arrange transfers from airport to lodge and back again; if you prefer to go it alone the commercial airports are the best place to pick up your hired car. |

The drive from Joburg to the southern gates of the Kruger can take up to six hours and is a tad dull until you reach the panoramic highlands. If you prefer the flexibility of a self-drive holiday or want to stop in the scenic Kruger Surrounds for a night or two, we can arrange car hire at competitive prices. All of the lodges are accessible in a sedan, although driving through or after a heavy thunderstorm in peak summer can be a bit of a white-knuckle experience. At the lodges your game drives are done in custom-fitted off-road vehicles so you won’t need your car at all. |

The larger towns around Kruger have taxis if you want to paint the town pink and not worry about weaving your way home, but the Kruger area is enormous and the only viable way of getting about is in a hired car or a direct fly-in and transfer. |

Sitting for three hours in a game-viewing vehicle may provide some exercise for your neck muscles and your camera finger but not much else. Some lodges have exercise equipment but the obvious choice would be to join your ranger on an interpretive bush walk where he’ll tell you interesting details about the trees, plants and animals along the way. Some lodges offer animal tracking and overnight walking safaris and this is by far the most fascinating way to experience the rawness of the African bush – it can also lead to an interesting tale or two back home. |
