Travellers Guide : Getting There

Although about 50 airlines now fly to South Africa, it still isn't exactly a hub of international travel and the fares reflect that. Johannesburg is the main international airport but there are an increasing number of direct flights to Cape Town and a few to Durban.

Note that, like all today's International Flights, due to the September 11th atrocity you should leave yourself plenty of time between connecting flights due to increased security checks - your Travel/Booking Agent will advise.

Airport Tax
There's an airport departure tax of R25 or R38 to neighbouring African countries, which is usually included in your ticket price.

Overland Route
It's possible to get down overland, but be prepared for slow moving, uncomfortable rides, and visa and border crossing nightmares. There are two main routes: through the Sahara from Morocco to West Africa, across the Central African Republic, Zaire and Uganda to Kenya, or up the Nile from Egypt to Uganda and Kenya. From Nairobi, it's on to Tanzania where you can pick up a train to Zambia, then to Zimbabwe from where there are straightforward connections to Johannesburg. If you still feel like travelling around South Africa by the time you arrive, you're doing pretty well!
