Flights to Nelspruit
MQP · Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport
Kruger Mpumalanga International (KMIA) sits 25km north of Mbombela (Nelspruit) and is the fastest way into the southern Kruger National Park — Malelane, Crocodile Bridge and Numbi gates are all within 90 minutes' drive. Airlink operates most flights, with daily connections from Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban plus direct services to Vilankulos, Harare and Livingstone. For international safari visitors it is the preferred arrival over OR Tambo because it cuts out a 5-hour road transfer to the park.
