International Flights

We would suggest that you take a direct, preferably overnight, flight when travelling with children, to minimise flight and maximise sleep time!

Major airlines are responding to an increase in demand by increasing the size of aircrafts and frequency of flights from Europe.

For further information about airlines which fly direct to our destinations and what facilities they provide for families, please see our International Travel pages.

Internal Travel

Domestic flights are affordable and frequent within South Africa. However, we appreciate that the process of flying with children isn't simple and will therefore endeavour to keep these to a minimum when constructing your itinerary.

If you are considering visiting both the North West in combination with Cape Town, a good option is to purchase an Open-Jaw international ticket, enabling you to fly in to one City and back from another. This can also be done to include Mauritius as part of a triangular route.

We would suggest that, in addition to any necessary domestic flights, a combination of car hire and private transfers provide the best way to travel within South Africa. If you book car hire with us for South Africa, we will also supply an informative document outlining useful do's and don't relating to driving here. We recommend transfers to your hotel on arrival and if you are travelling to some of the remoter Game Reserve areas.

Private transfers, shuttle and helicopter flights and car hire can also be arranged throughout our other destinations.

Please see our Internal Travel pages for further information, including details about train and coach journeys, in case this mode of transport should also be of interest.
