Flights to Tswalu

Tswalu Kalahari offers daily scheduled flights from both Johannesburg and Cape Town. The aircraft we use most is a Pilatus PC12, often our very own plane decorated with designs inspired by Bushman rock art. The Pilatus is pressurised and your journey will be in luxury and comfort.

In Cape Town, you will depart from the Signature private hangar and in Johannesburg, we use the Anglo American hangar. Simple directions to each can be found here.
