KZN Air Charters & Lodge Air TransfersTravel between Durban, Richards Bay, and Zululand, KZN

Our KZN air charter service offers a convenient alternative to travelling long distances by road, connecting guests with safari lodges and remote destinations across northern KwaZulu-Natal. Daily flights depart from Virginia Airport in Durban and Richards Bay Airport, with departures from King Shaka International Airport available on request.

From a Big Five safari in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park to the remote beaches and coastal forests surrounding Thonga Beach Lodge, flying allows you to spend less of your holiday in transit and more of it experiencing your destination.

Private Air Charters in KwaZulu-Natal

Northern KwaZulu-Natal is home to extraordinary wilderness areas, but its remote nature means reaching many safari lodges and coastal destinations can require several hours on the road.

The Isibindi Air Shuttle makes these journeys simpler. Operated by our trusted aviation partner, Legend Aviation, the service connects Durban and Richards Bay with a selection of airstrips across Zululand.

Guests can fly directly into the region before continuing to their lodge by arranged ground transfer. One-way flights can also be combined with a road transfer on the return journey, allowing you to experience KwaZulu-Natal from both the air and the ground.

Air Charter Routes

Our shuttle service offers daily flights from Durban Virgina and Richards Bay Airport and is authorised to land at the following airstrips:

  • Hluhluwe Town (Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge)
  • Mkuze Town
  • Mkuze Falls Game Lodge*
  • Phinda*
  • Manzengwenya (Thonga Beach Lodge)

*Please note that permission would be needed from the lodges if landing at Phinda Airstrip or Mkuze Falls Game Lodge Airstri
