- G.

Correct Answer
G. All of the above except catapult (yet...)Explanation
Several daily flights operate from Johannesburg to HDS/MQP, and one direct flight daily from Cape Town.
From the airports you can be transferred either by road (2/3 hours) or flight (25 mins - for those without money restrictions).
If staying towards the north of the park, HDS is better, otherwise MQP should be fine.
Direct flights to the safari lodges from Johannesburg take around 90 minutes so very easy and convenient. A ranger from the lodge will be able to meet you at the airstrip and transfer you by game drive vehicle to your lodge.
Self driving is the cheapest way to do it and usually takes around 6 hours. Well maintained roads and beautiful scenery - can always split the drive by spending a night or two in the Kruger surrounding area and Panorama Route.Rate this question:
