Airlink has pleasure in confirming that it has commenced operating the new route from Kruger to Livingstone, effective 17 August 2009. Airlink’s service operates directly from Nelspruit Kruger to Livingstone. Initially Airlink will operate this service on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays, with the intention to grow frequency to correspond with demand.
The new route will allow travellers to enjoy the convenience of a direct flight between two of Africa’s most sought after destinations. This will avoid the current need for Kruger travellers to stay overnight or connect in JHB prior to flying to Livingstone. The opportunity is then for travellers to enjoy a game drive and breakfast at their bush lodge before travelling to Livingstone and enjoying, on the same day, an evening sunset cruise on the Zambezi. The return travellers, Livingstone/Kruger, can enjoy a walk to the falls in the morning, breakfast and mid morning activities before travelling to Kruger to enjoy dinner and first night in the bush. Travellers will be able to get to bed early in order to be ready for an early game drive the next day.
As the leisure market moves towards its peak season both locally and internationally, Tour operators will welcome the idea to promote a combination of fly in packages including Cape Town, JHB or Durban to Kruger and Livingstone ensuring travelers receive the best of both and can experience both the Kruger Park and Livingstone.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday

Depart Livingstone 14h20 arrive Nelspruit Kruger 16h45
