Getting Around
Flights
Flying between destinations in South Africa is an attractive option if time is short. It also compares favourably with the money you'll spend covering long distances in a rental car, stopping over at places en route, and with the arrival of a clutch of competing budget airlines you can sometimes pick up good deals.
By far the biggest airline offering domestic flights is South African Airways (SAA), with its two associates SA Airlink and SA Express (reservations for the three go through SAA). There are several smaller airlines, of which the most significant is British Airways Comair and its budget subsidiary Kulula.com. Other no-frills airlines include Nationwide, 1Time and Mango.
