Private aircraft and charter flights:
Our reservations office or a South African incoming tour operator can offer direct flights into the MalaMala airstrip in chartered, pressurised aircraft. The MalaMala private airstrip boasts an all weather surface and is equipped with aeronautical communication facilities.
The cost is dependent on the number of guests, type of aircraft requested and flying distance.
A private charter has many advantages, times are arranged to suit guests, check-in and luggage handling is speedier, guests have a choice of airports in and around Johannesburg or South Africa and it is convenient for guests whose itinerary may require a transfer to a destination where direct scheduled flights are not available.
On arrival guests will be met by representatives from the camps. The estimated driving times from the MalaMala airstrip to the camps are: MalaMala Main Camp 5 minutes. Kirkman's Kamp 30 minutes. Harry's Camp 5 minutes.
By helicopter :
This is an ideal mode of transport for guests arriving at MalaMala from the numerous mountainous retreats in the Mpumalanga area surrounding the Kruger National Park. While luggage is transported to the camps by vehicle, the helicopter passengers are transported onto the mountainous escarpment in close proximity to MalaMala for a picnic. This is followed by a panoramic flight through some of the finest scenery on offer in Southern Africa, including the Blyde River Canyon, Long Tom Pass, God's Window and Bourke's Luck Potholes, after which guests are flown back to MalaMala in time for the afternoon game drive.
Please contact our reservations office for further information.
Panoramic Transfers :
An attractive alternative for guests to consider on their return trip to Johannesburg, is a "Panoramic Transfer" from all the MalaMala camps to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport. This trip, with a qualified guide, in a luxury airconditioned vehicle, follows a route through some of the most spectacular mountain scenery South Africa has to offer. It ends at Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport in the late afternoon, in time to connect with the scheduled flights to Johannesburg International Airport.
