According to SAFA, the players were supposed to fly out together, but upon arrival at the airport, they learnt that they were booked in two batches.
Bafana Bafana are now set to travel to the Middle East this morning as a single unit.
The Southern Africans are scheduled to play Ghana on 15 June before heading to Afcon host nation Egypt where they will square off with Angola in another warm-up match.
