Singita, a leading luxury travel company specializing in African safari experiences, has announced a groundbreaking new development that will transform the way travelers can explore their South African and Zimbabwean properties. Collaborating with Halsted’s Aviation Corporation (HAC), Singita will be offering weekly flights between Buffalo Range Airport in Chiredzi, Zimbabwe, and Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport in Mbombela, South Africa, starting March 1, 2024. This strategic initiative is set to revolutionize the safari travel experience by providing seamless connections between these two incredible destinations.
This new flight service will allow guests to start or end their safari adventure at a selection of world-class lodges, including Singita’s Pamushana Lodge and Malilangwe House in the Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve, Zimbabwe; Singita’s Lebombo Lodge, Lebombo Villa, and Sweni Lodge in Kruger National Park; and Singita’s Ebony Lodge, Ebony Villa, Boulders Lodge, and Castleton in Sabi Sand, South Africa. Each of these properties offers a unique and immersive safari experience, with luxurious accommodations and unparalleled access to the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife of Africa.
The flight between Buffalo Range and Kruger Mpumalanga will be a short one, taking just one hour and 15 minutes to complete. HAC will operate the route using two twin turboprop planes—the King Air 350 or King Air 200—ensuring that guests have a comfortable and convenient travel experience from start to finish. This efficient and well-appointed air travel option will make it easier than ever for travelers to seamlessly transition between Singita’s properties in South Africa and Zimbabwe.
The introduction of this flight route is expected to significantly enhance connectivity between two of the most sought-after safari destinations in sub-Saharan Africa. Previously, guests had to endure the inconvenience of transferring between different aircraft and spending an additional night in transit in order to travel between the two locations. With HAC’s new flights, guests can effortlessly experience the best of both Singita Malilangwe and Singita’s Kruger National Park and Sabi Sand, maximizing their time in these incredible safari destinations.
Travelers can now take advantage of the convenience and ease of these new flights by making their bookings directly through the HAC website. This seamless connection between Singita’s properties in South Africa and Zimbabwe is sure to elevate the overall safari experience and make it more accessible to a larger number of discerning travelers.
In addition to the announcement of the new flight service, Singita’s dedication to providing unparalleled experiences in the African safari landscape is evident in their ongoing commitment to conservation and sustainable tourism. Guests can rest assured that their travels with Singita contribute to the preservation of the natural environment and the protection of the continent’s abundant wildlife.
In conclusion, the introduction of the new flights between Buffalo Range and Kruger Mpumalanga represents a significant milestone in the world of luxury safari travel. Singita’s collaboration with HAC to provide these convenient flight connections underscores their commitment to offering exceptional and seamless travel experiences for their guests. With this new development, Singita has once again raised the bar for luxury travel in Africa and solidified its position as a leader in the safari industry.
