How do i get to Phinda?
 

Hi! I just won the auction on safari asap....the CCAFrica auction for 5 nights at Phinda....2 nites at forest lodge and 3 nights on their walking safari.....

Which airline operates between Joburg and Phinda?

Is this plan ideal to accept to combine with my Kwando safari in BOtswana......

Thanks
Hari

Hari,

You can take the Fed Air flight directly from Johannesburg to Phinda. I beleive it leaaves about 10 or 11 in the morning. (fedair.com). Fed Air uses a small airport about a 10 minute drive form JNB.
Or, you could take a scheduled SAA flight from JNB to Richards Bay, then a small plane transfer to Phinda, or possibly a road transfer to Phinda.

Hi Hari

Brandywine is correct. The FedAir Flights depart Johannesburg daily at 11h00 and one needs to check-in 1 hour prior to your departure. The flights depart daily from Phinda at 13h15 back to Johannesburg. The flight is approximately 2 hours long. The Air transfers between Phinda and Richards Bay are 30 minutes otherwise 2 hours by road.

Hello Hari,

Congratulations on your auction win! I thought that sounded like a great package.

In addition to the other options listed, you can also fly into Durban and do a road transfer from Durban to Phinda. It's about 1.75 hrs. This may be the least expensive option.

Cheers,

Thanks Brandywine, teejay and Julian......will first pay up the amount due to CCA and then worry about transportation......

Thanks

Sorry to correct you, but the transfer by road from Durban to Phinda will take 3 hours 30 minutes or 1 hour by air.
Enjoy your trip Hari

Hello,

Of course you're right Teejay -- I meant 1 hour by air. I need to go to sleep earlier...

Cheers,
Julian

Thanks everyone,

Indeed, i am flying Fed Air to Phinda.

So, Fed Air flights are not in JNB domestic terminals? All i know is, i am being met on arrivals by someone from Fed Air on the morning of August 14th....

Hi Hari,

All of the private companies use a separate airfield across the road. The Fed Air rep will drive you over, so you should be fine.

Cheers,
Julian
