Scheduled Air Charters

With Federal Airlines.

Twice daily schedule Flights from/to Johannesburg International. Flight takes approximately 90 Minutes to Garonga Airstrip.

Daily Scheduled Flights  from/To Kruger Airport to connect to Vic Falls or Mozambique Flights. Definitely worth doing this as it avoids a nasty 3.5 hours drive.

Scheduled Air Charters means you may share with Other Guests from/To Johannesburg International making it much more affordable. For Kruger the same applies but unlikely you will share with Guests from other Lodges.

The Garonga Airstrip is 5 minutes from the Main Camp, and about 10 minutes from MCH.

There is a small Landing Fee.

Federal Airlines can provide a “Meet and Greet” on arrival at Johannesburg International.

The FEDAIR Lounge is about a 5 minutes Drive round the Apron of the Airport.

The Lounge is away from the clutter of the main Airport and provides, snacks, drinks, Wifi: very comfortable and accommodating.

Safari Camp

Game drives are at the heart of the Garonga experience, allowing you to encounter the Big 5 and other wildlife up close. Your stay will typically include a morning and afternoon game drive in our open-air Land Rovers. Two of our experienced and qualified guides will lead you through the bush, impressing you with their knowledge of the great variety of wildlife in the reserve. Their tracking skills are exceptional, giving them the advantage of locating animals based on their recent movements and enabling your safari sightings dreams to come true. On a morning game drive, as the animals are waking up, tuck into tea, coffee and snacks in the bush. Then, in the late afternoon, sip on a cocktail or glass of wine as the sun slowly dips below the horizon. In addition to the Big 5 (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, and rhino), look out for cheetah, spotted hyena, black rhino, African wild dog, hippos, crocodiles, diverse plains animals and colourful birdlife.
