TASTE OF THE BUSH - Greater Kruger Park Area, South Africa
Other options
Taste Of The Bush is flexible!
If you do not fancy one of our standard packages, we will gladly create a tailor made tour to meet any specific needs you may have. We also conduct day trips to all the different destinations included in our tours, so please do not hesitate to contact us with your questions and suggestions to help us plan your dream safari.
Travel options
Our standard packages run over 5 nights from a Monday to a Saturday morning with tours starting and ending at any one of these good airports in the Lowveld / Kruger region:
- Eastgate Airport, situated outside of Hoedspruit (HDS)
- Skukuza Airport, situated within the Kruger National Park (SKZ). Please note that a conservation fee is applicable to all flights into the park. This fee will be incorporated into the cost of the tour.
- Phalaborwa Airport, situated in Phalaborwa (PHB)
- Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, situated close to Nelspruit and White River (KMIA)
- OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg (JHB). From here, a road transfer needs to be booked, either with Taste Of The Bush or with another transfer company, as arranged by the agent/guest.
Please note that your itinerary will be
adapted according to the airport you arrive at.
All flights must be organized by the agent or guest.
If so wished, however, we can assist with the booking of
local flights (from within South Africa to one of
the airports above) at an additional cost.
Although we do prefer that you fly in to one of the airports above, we can even transfer you by road from an airport or hotel in Johannesburg to the Lowveld. The 5-7 hour journey from Johannesburg (depending on where you start your tour) does offer an opportunity to see more of South Africa and it is, for the most part, very scenic.
Travel tip: You can fly straight to Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) from KMIA (or the other way round), and the Eastgate (near Hoedspruit), Skukuza, KMIA & Phalaborwa airports allows for flights directly to and from Cape Town also.
