How to Go to South Africa
Explore the beautiful land of South Africa
Rated 4.30/5 ( based on 105 reviews )
Travel to South Africa
Take a look at the South Africa map, and you can figure out that the best option in regard to how to go to South Africa is via boarding a flight. South Africa has quite a few international airports, but the two most frequented ones with India to South Africa flights are O. R. Tambo International Airport (serving Johannesburg) and Cape Town International Airport. There used to be a direct Mumbai to South Africa flight, which flew directly from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport to O. R. Tambo directly, operated by South Africa Airways. But the route has been cancelled since 2015 owing to losses and has ever since been redirected via Abu Dhabi. But there are enough connecting flights from all the major cities of India to important South African cities like Jo’burg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth and Bloemfontein.
How to reach South Africa from India
India to South Africa distance is a staggering 8250 km, and although it is constantly connected by land all the way through the extent of Africa continent and Middle-East, the distance is simply way too much to travel. Nobody even considers doing that, given one has to cross the largest desert of the world – Sahara, by road, which is near impossible. Besides that, one can also choose to hop on a journey via waterway cruises that are available from cities of Europe, but not directly from India.
Here is our guide in apropos of how to reach South Africa from India using airways, roads, and waterways.
By Air
Some of the prominent airlines that fly India to South Africa flight distance are British Airways, Qatar Airways, Emirates, Etihad, Ethiopian Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines, KLM and more. The fastest flight duration is Mumbai to South Africa, which takes 10 hours 40 minutes by Jet Airways-Air Seychelles via Seychelles airport. The next best India to South Africa flight duration is by Ethiopian Airlines via Addis Ababa and Kenya Airways via Nairobi, both of which take 11 hours 45-50 minutes. From Delhi to South Africa, the best flight is by Emirates via Dubai, in 13 hours 45 minutes. On average, Ethiopian Airlines have the best connecting flights from any India city to South African city via Addis Ababa Airport.
By Sea
There are luxury cruises from cities of Europe like the UK and Germany to South Africa’s ports like Cape Town, Durban and Port Elizabeth, which take around two months. But this trip is less of a means of transport than a vacation in itself on the vast Atlantic, with stops at the South African cities for day tours.
