Madimbo Airport is a small, remote airstrip located near Matshakatini in the Limpopo province of South Africa, close to the Madimbo Corridor and the borders of Zimbabwe and Botswana. It serves primarily as a military and private access point for the surrounding bushveld region, including areas adjacent to the Kruger National Park ecosystem. The airstrip plays a niche role supporting conservation operations, military logistics, and private bush aviation in one of South Africa's most isolated corners.
- Main Airstrip Facility — A basic, no-frills airstrip facility with minimal infrastructure, serving military, charter, and private light aircraft operations.

- 4x4 rental from nearby towns such as Musina
- Charter road transfers from Musina or Thohoyandou

There are no dining facilities at the airstrip itself. Visitors should carry their own provisions, as the nearest towns with restaurants or shops are a considerable drive away. Musina, the closest urban centre, offers basic dining options including local eateries and fast-food outlets.
- Pre-arrange all ground transport well in advance as there are no on-site services or taxis.
- Carry sufficient fuel, water, and supplies — the surrounding area is extremely remote with limited services.
- Check military and airspace restrictions before filing a flight plan, as the Madimbo Corridor has regulated zones.
