What you can actually book: Nelspruit (Mbombela) → Johannesburg → Hoedspruit
No airline flies Nelspruit (Mbombela) to Hoedspruit non-stop. Every itinerary changes aircraft at Johannesburg, so these are the two legs your booking is built from — compare each one to see where the money actually goes.
The live search above prices the full connecting itinerary in one booking, which is usually cheaper and protects you if the first leg runs late. Comparing the legs separately is worth doing when one of them is on sale — but a self-booked connection carries no protection if you miss the second flight.
Some dates route through Cape Town instead — compare Nelspruit (Mbombela) to Cape Town and Cape Town to Hoedspruit if the Johannesburg connection prices badly.
