Getting There
The southern African air transport hub is O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg. The majority of subsequent travel is by car. Some people choose self-drive because of South Africa's excellent roads and facilities. In most cases, your local tour operator will arrange airport pickup and additional transportation as part of your tour package.
Other international airports are located in Cape Town and Durban, but there are few direct flights from Europe or America to either destination.
