Booking tips
How to fly this route for less.
- Allow for the journey to O.R. Tambo from your actual address, parking or bag drop, and security before the airline deadline. For an early departure, get a transfer quote for that time rather than a daytime estimate.
- Before booking SZK, ask your lodge or camp whether it can collect you there and whether any park-access arrangements apply. Compare the flight and complete transfer with MQP or HDS only when those alternatives fit the accommodation and timing.
- Compare the fare with the bags and optional extras you need. If an itinerary connects, check the full elapsed time, ticket arrangement and bag handling before choosing it.
