FlySafair is launching a new seasonal route from Cape Town to Hoedspruit this October 2025, running three direct flights weekly—on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays—with one‑way fares starting from just R 1,570. The service departs from Cape Town International and lands at Eastgate Airport in Hoedspruit, offering a smooth and affordable gateway to Kruger‑area safari lodges and private reserves. These low‑cost flights expand South Africa’s domestic network, making a combination between Cape Town and the Kruger Park more interesting than ever.
It used to be that the only affordable way to get to Hoedspruit from Cape Town was to first fly to Johannesburg and then drive down to Hoedspruit. But now with the added competition it’s cheaper and more convenient to fly directly to Hoedspruit. This allows you to limit your travels to a couple of hours in stead of a full day. So now it’s already a perfectly good option to come to Hoedspruit for just a long weekend!
Most international visitors to South Africa combine Cape Town, the Winelands and the Garden Route with a safari in Kruger National Park. With improved flight options, including new affordable routes to Hoedspruit, it is easier than ever to make this vibrant town your base for exploring Kruger. Offering a wide range of accommodation options and known as one of the safest destinations in the country, Hoedspruit is quickly becoming the go to connection for travelers heading into the bush.
The Nomads Den offers private safari villas and is only a 15 minute drive away from Eastgate Airport in Hoedspruit.
