Satara Airstrip and Commercial Use - Singita

Post by Richprins »

Africa Wild has received two queries recently about significant air traffic at the Satara airstrip just north of the camp this school holiday. There is nothing untoward going on and it is simply the delivery system for the two lodges in the Nwanetsi area. Guests are picked up at the airstrip and sometimes the planes obviously park there until they have completed their holiday. The airstrip activity is more visible during the dry season, as the bush thins out.

We have confirmed with the Lodge,and thanks for their cooperation! \O

From page 71 Kruger Management Plan: https://www.sanparks.org/assets/docs/co ... t-plan.pdf


7.3 Airfields and flight corridors
Section 47 (2) of the NEM: PAA states that no aircraft may enter the park’s airspace or make use of any airstrip or helipad without getting prior permission from park management. The park has nine airfields which are predominantly utilised by SANParks for operational purposes.
These are located at:

Letaba

Mopani

Olifants

Pafuri

Punda Maria

Satara

Shingwedzi

Skukuza


Tshokwane

Section 7:

Exceptions to this are the airfields at Skukuza, Satara, Punda Maria and Pafuri that are also being used by
Airlink (only Skukuza) and the concessions(Singita andThe Outpost) for guest drop-offs and pick-ups.
Flight paths for access to the above-mentioned airfields have been delineated (Appendix 6, Map 2).
All flights to and from the above-mentioned airstrips must route along the defined corridor to avoid over-
flying of sensitive areas and negatively impacting existing operations
