Your day, step by step
Johannesburg
We normally depart from the Johannesburg International Airport (now called O R Tambo airport) or any of the surrounding airport hotels, at around 6:30 am in the morning and travel by luxury air-conditioned minibus to the Kruger National Park. As we pass Nelspruit at around 12h30, you can also depart from Nelspruit if you prefer that (same cost as departing from Johannesburg). This is a scheduled safari with fixed departure dates, but customized departures are possible, subject to availability. You can also request a private departure just for your group. For our scheduled departures, we take a maximum of 9 people per vehicle.
