Air Charters and Road Transfers

To assist agents creating independent travel experiences, we provide access to road transfer and charter services. These providers offer flexible private and shared transfer solutions to and from key locations, including our lodges, with options for tailored trips. Please note: these services are designed for independent bookings and are not intended to replace services provided by existing DMC or wholesaler partners.

For your convenience, we've compiled information regarding fixed-wing and helicopter landing access at each of our properties. Helicopter landings often require pre-authorization from the pilot for safety and logistical reasons. 

Here's a quick overview:

• Fairview House (Plettenberg Bay): Fixed-wing aircraft can land directly. For helicopter landings on the lawn, pre-authorization is required.

• Fugitives' Drift Lodge: The nearest airstrip for fixed-wing aircraft is in Vryheid. Helicopters can land adjacent to the guesthouse, subject to pilot pre-authorization.

• Leopard Mountain Lodge: Fixed-wing aircraft can utilize the airstrips at Mkuze or Phinda. Helicopter landings are permissible within the reserve, pending pilot pre-authorization.

• Makakatana Bay Lodge: The Hluhluwe Airstrip is available for fixed-wing aircraft. Helicopters can land near the lodge, with pilot pre-authorization required.

• Three Tree Hill Lodge: Fixed-wing aircraft can land at LadySmith. Helicopter landings are possible at the lodge, contingent upon pilot pre-authorization.

• Sungulwane Lodge: Fixed-wing aircraft can use the Phinda or, if necessary, the Mkuze airstrip. Helicopter landings are permitted within the reserve, subject to pilot pre-authorization.
