  • Confirm flight schedules directly with your charter or general aviation operator as no regular commercial services are published.
  • Carry local South African rand cash as card payment facilities on-site may be limited.
  • The airport is a short drive from the N12 highway, making a rental car the most flexible travel option in the region.
