About Khoka Moya Airport
Khoka Moya Airport (KHO) is a private bush airstrip located within the Manyeleti Game Reserve in Mpumalanga, South Africa. It serves as an air gateway for safari guests travelling to Honeyguide Khoka Moya Camp and other lodges in the unfenced Greater Kruger ecosystem.
The airstrip consists of a single unpaved runway of approximately 900 metres, used mainly by light aircraft and private charters. Operations are restricted to daylight hours because the strip has no runway lighting, and landings require prior permission coordinated with lodge management.
The airport is about 54 km from Hoedspruit and lies close to the Orpen Gate area of Kruger National Park. There is no public transport or taxi rank; arrivals are met by pre-arranged lodge vehicles and transferred directly into the reserve.
With only basic shaded waiting space and no conventional terminal facilities, KHO offers a simple bush-aviation experience rather than a full-service airport, making it a practical arrival point for fly-in safaris.
