FLY IN TO UMNGAZI |
Durban’s Virginia airport is your first port of call, where you can board a comfortable 14-seater aircraft for the short flight down to paradise. On the lofted Port St Johns airstrip, you’ll be greeted by our friendly hosts and a cool refresher, to begin your escape from the rat race. S.A. Airlink also offers daily flights from Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport, direct to Umtata (Mthatha). Transfer arrangements to Umngazi can be made for you.
Tip: Keep your cameras ready for some amazing shots of the coastline and the spectacular views. Its not often you get a view like this.
For those who intend to fly in themselves, Port St John’s runway details are as follows:
Dimensions:
09/27 900 m x 25 m tar; FAPJ South 31 37’ 00.0; East 29 31’ 00.0.

HIT THE ROAD
If you’re driving to the Wild Coast from the
Cape, get yourselves onto the N2 North, which
runs directly through Umtata (Mthatha). In
central Umtata (Mthatha), look out for
the intersection with a sign for the Port St Johns
road (R61); it’s hard to miss. Then you’ll have a beautiful
90km drive through lush valleys and gentle hills, with some spectacular views along the way. The road is spacious and tarred all the way to our (also clearly marked) turn-off.
From Kwazulu-Natal, take the Port Edward / Bizana / Flagstaff / Lusikisiki (R61) route and make your way to us past herds of cattle and friendly locals. Getting to Umngazi is not the
cross-Africa odyssey you might imagine - even
though once you’re here, you will feel miles
away from the rest of the world. |
