Our closest landing strip is the Ulusaba Airstrip which is used by lodges in the Western Sector; we offer a complimentary transfer service to and from the lodges. Federal Air have daily scheduled flights to and from Johannesburg into this airstrip and SA Airlink have daily flights to and from major cities to this Airstrip; via either Nelspruit or Skukuza Airports. SA Airlink flies into Nelspruit Airport (KMIA) as well as Skukuza Airport (SZK) from various domestic and regional destinations. Clients flying into either of these airports would need to self-drive, or book a road transfer to get to the lodge, alternatively, there is also a Lodge Hop service to Ulusaba Airstrip (ULX). Our closest gate entry is Newington Gate.
*Please note that all Ulusaba Passenger Taxes, aircraft landing fees and other airport taxes are excluded from our rates and are set and changed by Ulusaba.

Road transfer companies normally include the SSW Gate entry fees in their quotes- however, it is your responsibility to check that it is included if you are booking these transfers. For all guests flying into/out of the Ulusaba Airstrip (on any airline) there is a 325 ZAR per person Ulusaba passenger tax (valid for 2021), that needs to be quoted to the client over and above the flight costs. These fees will be added in your accommodation invoice once you have notified us of the flight details. For Private Charters making use of the Ulusaba Airstrip, a landing fee and an overnight fee will apply. This is charged by the charter companies directly, and these fees are generally in excess to the actual cost of the flight quoted by the charter company. It is your responsibility to check if they have been included or not.

Please ensure that you have taken out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover cancellation fees should you have to cancel your trip in any event.
