Southern African carrier, Airlink, will resume its peak season “Bush & Beach” service linking Mbobela’s Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport with Vilanculos, Mozambique’s famous coastal resort destination and Johannesburg.
Enabling tourists to combine a safari and beach holiday, the direct service will start up again from 1 July 2024 and will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, until 5 January 2025.
“In reprising this routing option for the coming season, Airlink is responding to broad popular demand from tourists and calls from the travel industry for a convenient schedule that lets visitors make the most of their vacation time and enjoy both uniquely Southern African experiences,” said Airlink CEO and Managing Director, Rodger Foster.
As the gateway to Kruger National Park and nearby private game lodges, Mbombela is a popular base for those heading off on safari. Meanwhile, Vilanculos is a popular beach holiday destination and gateway to the Bazaruto Archipelago offering spectacular beaches and marine life and a variety of accommodation.
The route will be operated on Embraer Regional Jets and will provide convenient connections across Airlink’s domestic and regional services, as well as with long-haul flights provided by the regional carrier’s network of global airline partners.
