  • How long is the flight to Guyana?

    Flights to Guyana from Johannesburg can vary but generally, you can expect to land in Georgetown International Airport after about 42-45h of travel time, depending on stopovers. If you’re looking for Guyana flight deals from Cape Town, you’re looking to travel for around 50-55h before you land in Georgetown. Most of your travel time is going to be taken up by your stopovers, so come prepared.

  • Where can you get direct flights to Guyana from?

    Unfortunately, direct flights from South Africa to Guyana are not currently available. Cheap flights to Guyana from Johannesburg will usually need a few hours of stopover in Dubai International Airport and then John F Kennedy International Airport in New York City before arriving at Georgetown Airport. If you’re flying from Cape Town, you’ll also normally arrive in Dubai and then John F Kennedy International Airport before arriving in Guyana.

  • What is the best way to travel around Guyana?

    Public transport is not really available in Guyana. A good idea would be to hire a car to ensure you have reliable transport. You can get a hire car from the airport, however, you will need to make sure you get a driver's permit first. In order to do that, you need to go to the Guyana Revenue Authority offices at the airport. You must then show your local driving licence to the officer there, as well as the address of where you will be staying while in Guyana. From there, the officer may ask some questions before issuing your permit. Your permit will last for one month once you get it. Once you have your permit, you can hire a car from one of the car hire branches at the airport. Once you have your car, you can drive from Georgetown to New Amsterdam, which is a two-hour drive, or maybe you can check out Noitgedacht, which is an hour and a half drive from Georgetown.

  • What are some things to do in Guyana?

    You should check out the Bourda Market if you are in Georgetown. It’s a fantastic way to familiarise yourself with the local fresh fruits and vegetables. If you’re more interested in Guyanian culture, then check out the Guyana National Museum, which has loads of interesting exhibits and displays about local art and culture for you to learn from. If museums aren’t your thing, there is always the beach, which is super close to Georgetown and absolutely gorgeous. For those searching for more than fresh produce, local culture and beautiful beaches, try and explore the natural wildlife of the South American nation. The country is dense with natural vegetation and wildlife that you will not be able to see in any other part of the world. The Canopy Walkway of Iwokrama is an amazing experience that you cannot find anywhere else in the world. For a look at authentic Guyanian culture, you can go to the Surama village, where locals will often invite tourists to learn about their culture and heritage.

  • Do I need a passport or visa to fly to Guyana?

    You will not need a visa if you are a South African citizen, since South Africa is part of the Commonwealth. You will, however, need a valid passport that has at least six months until it expires for you to enter Guyana.
