Airline & Transportation Information

Safari hunting the Eastern Cape of South Africa.

AIRLINE INFORMATION

CUSTOM TRAVEL LTD.

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 South Africa and traveling with your hunting rifles. If you are looking for an agent that has experience in this field we highly recommend Custom Travel LTD in Greenfield, WI. They have not only the experience to provide your air travel, but can also assist you with other helpful information, such as information on the area you'll be visiting, health, firearm transportation and insurance related facts and more. Call them toll free at 800-728-5301 or visit their web site at www.customtravelafrica.com for detailed information.

SOUTH AFRICAN AIRWAYS

For hunters from the USA we highly recommend South African Airways as they have the only direct flights daily via Atlanta or New York. 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://ww2.flysaa.com/saa_home.html for flight schedules and information.

TRANSPORTATION

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.

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. Port Elizabeth will be your final destination in South Africa, where you will be meet by a representative of Trophy Safaris Africa. About 50 airlines provide service to and from South Africa though, as we mentioned, South African Airways is the National carrier.
