Where we operate

Based in Ballito. Distance is no object.

From our hub on the Dolphin Coast we cover King Shaka International Airport, Ballito, Salt Rock and Sheffield Beach — and drive as far north as St Lucia, as far south as Margate, and inland to Pietermaritzburg, Ladysmith, Newcastle and Vryheid. Seven days a week.

Our story

Why we don't publish set rates

We operate a fleet of serviced, fully insured and licensed vehicles — metered taxis for up to 4 passengers, shuttles for up to 12, and coaches for larger groups. Based on experience, we don't quote fixed tariffs on the website: every passenger's requirements are unique, and a straight rate card would stop us giving you the best possible price.

That flexibility is exactly why Leon Naidoo started King Shaka Airport Shuttle — as an alternative to the extortionate rates charged elsewhere. Send us your trip and you'll get a real quote, not a guess.
