Getting from the USA to the Heart of the Bush
From your home airport to a bush airstrip, every leg handled
The flights are the one part of an African safari that looks intimidating from the USA — and the one part we make effortless. From your home airport to a bush airstrip, every connection is arranged, timed and watched over.
Here’s how the journey actually comes together.
US gateways and routes
The main gateways are Johannesburg (for the Kruger reserves and Victoria Falls) and Cape Town. Both are reachable from major US hubs with a single stop, and some routes offer nonstop service. We’ll advise the smartest routing for your cities and dates.
“We were met and welcomed at every point of travel, the entire trip was so smooth, encountered no issues whatsoever.”
— Ranger Buck guest
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there nonstop flights from the US to South Africa?
Some routes offer nonstop service to Johannesburg; most US cities connect with one stop. We’ll recommend the best routing for you.
Do you book the international flights too?
We can arrange your international airfare alongside the safari, or work with flights you book yourself — whichever you prefer.
How do I get from the airport to the safari lodge?
By regional or light-aircraft flight and short transfer — all arranged and monitored by us.
Connecting to camp
From Johannesburg or Cape Town, a short regional flight or a light-aircraft hop takes you the final stretch to the reserve. This is where trips unravel when self-planned — and where we shine, because we book and monitor every connection.
Comfort on the long haul
For the long transatlantic leg, many guests upgrade to premium or business class; we’ll lay out the options and trade-offs. Whatever you choose, we build in sensible connection times so you arrive relaxed, not rattled.
