Booking Your Flights & Getting To White River Manor
Your final destination should be either Johannesburg (JNB) or Kruger International Airport (MQP). Nonstop flights from large airports like New York, Atlanta, London, or Dubai range from $1000 to $1800. Flying into Johannesburg tends to be the more affordable option, with purchasing a separate ticket to MQP from JNB on South African Airways for a short 45-minute flight.
Our staff can help you coordinate, purchase flights, and arrange transport from the airport to the centre if you’d like. We are committed to doing everything we can to make your travelling experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
