Air Flights to South Africa

Home of the 2010 football World Cup, South Africa is already a great destination. Air flights to South Africa can take you to Cape Town or Johannesburg, and you’ll find yourself in a different world.

And the prices are affordable. For destinations like Johannesburg or Cape Town, you should be able to find cheap flights which you can book speedily and easily online.

When in the country of the “Springboks”, take a guided walk or a cable car up Table Mountain. There are 550 routes so it’s a place to enjoy on more than occasion, with more than 1,400 species of flowering plants – more than the whole of the British Isles – to be found on the mountainside.

Air flights to South Africa will give you a comfortable journey, with some fun too. Some airlines give a number of choices to keep you entertained, such as your own personal television screen on which you can watch a TV channel or one of the latest movies, or play a computer game. Alternatively, wired for sound, you can close your eyes, sit back and relax and listen to the radio.

South Africa is a great destination. Thousands of miles away and in the southern hemisphere, it is only 25 degrees east of London (as far east as Greece), so there is little time difference, and hardly any jet lag. However, flying time is over 12 hours, so be prepared for the long haul.

Try out the Addo Elephant National Park, rated as one of the best places in Africa to see Elephants at close quarters.

Or there is Mountain Zebra National Park, where you can see an unusual zebra: mountain-adapted, small, with a chocolate-orange muzzle, a strange wattle on its neck.

One of the Free State’s major natural highlights, the Golden Gate Highlands National Park is for travellers who enjoy the great outdoors. Just 2-3 hours by road from Johannesburg, it is an ideal self-drive getaway for anyone with a few days to spare.
