Cheap flights to Africa from R802

Flying is a serious option to consider when navigating your way around this vast continent. So, naturally, you will be keeping that in mind as you weigh up your options for cheap flights to Africa. In fact, if you're looking at holidays in Zanzibar or Mauritius, Africa flight deals will be your only option since both destinations are islands off the coast of the continent, as you know. You may want to consider car hire if you're keen on exploring the whole of Mauritius, but for Zanzibar, the island is quite small, so you can put that money towards your Africa airfare.

This is such a huge continent, so you will never be bored, that's for sure. But if you want to relax and be a beachbum, then Zanzibar is the perfect spot. The island's beaches are among the best off the African coast. If you're planning your honeymoon, you should seriously look at Zanzibar as an option when you compare and book flights to Africa. Stone Town on the island is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so there's lots to do.

Well, you're already in Africa, but remember, this is a big continent, so you could easily be flying for half a day. Popular tourist destinations for Saffers when it comes to flights to Africa include Zanzibar (ZNZ) and Mauritius (MRU). Flight time from Johannesburg (JNB) to Zanzibar is just over 7h, with one stop. From Cape Town (CPT), you're looking at just over 12h with two stops (usually via JNB). Durban (DUR) to Mauritius is just under 4h if you take a direct flight, so be on the lookout for cheap flights to Africa that offer this route.

This will depend on where you are travelling, as in some cases you will need a visa and in other cases, you won't. You will need a valid passport that has at least six months left before it expires for all trips, as you consider your cheap flights to Africa. Fortunately, you don't need a visa to travel to Mauritius, which means you can book flights to Africa on a whim if your passport is current. South Africans are welcome in the country for up to 90 days without one. If your passport isn't current, then consider making use of the passport facility that the Department of Home Affairs initiated with some banks at certain larger branches in major towns around SA. It's much faster and more efficient than standing in the queue at Home Affairs. Check their website for details.
