Fly in Safaris

Go SAfari can change and will send you a personal itinerary and costs to any of our 3, 4 or longer safari itineraries to the Kruger Park and Madikwe including flights instead of the road transfers.

Another option is to drive one way and fly the other, at least then you do get to see some of our beautiful country and can save time on the return journey by flying back to Johannesburg. Especially for the Kruger Park safaris as this will allow you time to get a connecting flight to Cape Town or your return flight home.
