Flights:
A lot of airlines are flying to Johannesburg. We advise you to take a flight during night time. You will
arrive at Johannesburg around 10 o’clock a.m., which leaves you plenty of time before nightfall to
drive to Marloth Park. We do not recommend driving after night fall as the high- and motorways often
also are used by people walking and game crossing (impala’s and baboons).
Flight time to Johannesburg takes approx. 10 to 11 hours. Price of a ticket euro
580,00 up to euro 750,00. We fly usually with KLM/Air France with a stopover in Paris
and we usually can book our ticket to a price of euro 580,00 a person.
We also recommend Swiss Air/Lufthansa and South African Airways.
Instead of driving you can also fly from Johannesburg to the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport situated
close to Nelspruit. Flight time approx. 1 hour, flight ticket euro 130,00 up to euro 350,00. We recommend you to
drive to Marloth Park from Johannesburg, as the stop over time at Johannesburg to Kruger Mpumalanga Int.
Airport can be approx. 4 hours, which means that the quickest way to reach Marloth Park would be by car instead
of by plane.
No visa is required for Dutch or South Africa residents. If you are a Dutch resident you will receive a tourist visa
(stamp in your passport) at arrival at South Africa, which is valid for 3 months.
