Flights to South Africa

You can book cheap flights to South Africa any time of year as the climate is mild, but during South African school holidays the cost of accommodation can rise quite dramatically as South Africans journey to tourist areas, so it pays to do a little research. Flights to South Africa from the UK take around 11 hours direct on scheduled and charter flights and there are a choice of major airports that you could fly into. Coastal cities such as Durban and Port Elizabeth are fantastic places for water sports and laid-back beach holidays. There's also the opportunity to get out in the wide open spaces of the game parks with a safari. For the big cities look out for cheap flights to Cape Town or Johannesburg.

Where to go in South Africa

Booking a cheap flight to South Africa is just first step, once there you'll be able to see things like Kruger National Park, one of the world's best game parks and Table Mountain, the iconic flat-topped rock that dominates Cape Town. Hire a car in South Africa to drive the Garden Route if you like beautiful greenery and stunning coastal scenery, or head to Sun City for an African take on Las Vegas. If you're going to the main tourist areas it pays to pre-book South Africa hotels even in the quiet season, but particularly if you're visiting for one of 2012 and 2013's biggest events like the Jeffrey's Bay surf contest, the largest on the continent, or the ever-popular Mandela Day.
