When and how should I book flights?
It's best to finalise your safari itinerary before booking flights to maintain flexibility. For international flights, booking yourself is often the most cost-effective option. We'll guide you on local flights to ensure they align perfectly with your safari plans.
International Flights
We recommend booking your international flights on your own, as it often works out cheaper. If you're booking domestic or regional flights as well, consider including them in your international flight booking to secure better rates.
Domestic and Regional Flights
Once your itinerary is finalised, we'll provide detailed recommendations on which local flights you'll need. You can book these directly with the airlines, often at a lower cost. Alternatively, we can connect you with our trusted ATOL partners for assistance.
Booking Assistance
If you'd like help booking flights:
- Our South African office can assist with local flight bookings via a registered travel agent.
- Our UK office cannot book flights directly as it does not hold an ATOL license.
Airlines for Domestic and Regional Flights in South Africa:
- SA Airlink
- SAA (South African Airways)
- SA Express

- Mango (low-cost airline owned by SAA)
