TRANSPORTATION

AIRLINE INFORMATION

Airline transportation to South Africa is not included with any of our safaris. Your local travel agent can assist you with these arrangements, however some of them are not familiar with Southern Africa and traveling with your hunting rifles. If you are looking for an agent that has experience in this field, there are two that we highly recommend.

SOUTH AFRICAN AIRWAYS

For hunters from the USA we highly recommend South African Airways as they have direct flights daily via Dulles (Washington D.C.) or New York (JFK). South African Airways is the National carrier, distinctively a class above other African airlines in terms of service and reliability with a 99.8% take-off record. You can visit South African Airways web site at http://ww4.flysaa.com/ for flight schedules and information.

TRAVEL IN SOUTH AFRICA

South Africa is geared towards travel by air and road with an extensive network of well-maintained paved roads and many domestic, as well as private charter airline services.

Most parts of the Limpopo Province are easily accessible via a well-constructed road network. Major highways are paved as are most roadways around metropolitan areas, however rural roads are seldom paved. Any valid drivers license is accepted in South Africa, provided it bears the photograph and signature of the holder and is printed in English. Contrary to driving in the U.S., driving in South Africa is done on the left.

There are three International Airports in South Africa; Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. The Johannesburg International Airport is the arrival/departure point for Cruiser Safaris. About 50 airlines provide service to and from South Africa though, as we mentioned, South African Airways is the National carrier.
