Getting To And Discovering All That Cape Town Has To Offer At Competitive Rates
Getting to Cape Town, South Africa's most iconic city, is exceptionally easy from most international hubs. A superb selection of airlines flies directly into the city, with some offering daily services. Connecting to the rest of Africa from here is just as simple, with most African airlines offering routes that rival those from Johannesburg's O.R. Tambo. This makes Cape Town the ideal starting point for adding spectacular destinations like Namibia, Botswana, Kruger National Park, Victoria Falls, or even Dar es Salaam to your itinerary.
For nearly all international visitors, the easiest and best way to arrive is by flying directly into Cape Town International Airport. The airport, magnificently upgraded in 2010, now ranks as one of the best worldwide. As the list of airlines below demonstrates, you have a fantastic amount of choice for your journey (note: listings for North or South American airlines are not included).
From the airport, the city centre is a mere 20-minute drive, as are the beautiful areas of Sea Point, the V&A Waterfront, and Constantia. We always feel the best way to start your holiday is with a pre-arranged transfer service from the airport to your hotel. There, you can seamlessly meet your tour or have a rental vehicle conveniently delivered. In our opinion, this is far superior to waiting in long queues to collect a car and immediately navigating traffic in a foreign country—it’s not only more relaxing but undoubtedly safer.
