How To Reach South Africa From Bangalore

The two most important airports of South Africa are located in Johannesburg and Cape Town. There are frequent flights from Bangalore to these two airports, but none of them is direct or nonstop.

By Air: The carrier with the best Bangalore to South Africa flight time is Emirates. It takes 13 hours 55 minutes to go from Bangalore to O. R. Tambo International Airport at Jo’Burg via Dubai and is pretty frequent throughout the week. The next best flight is to Cape Town by the same airlines, but this one takes 15 hours 40 minutes. If you cannot avail the Emirates flight from Bangalore, another option is to fly to Mumbai and avail the Ethiopian Airlines flight via Addis Ababa.

By Road/Rail: The Blue Train that runs from Cape Town to Pretoria is considered the best luxury train in the world, and is a very popular tourist attraction. Buses from other countries with which South Africa shares border are a cheap way of travelling to SA. But needless to say, these are not options you can avail for the Bangalore to South Africa distance.

By Seaway: The many port cities of South Africa are accessed by cruiser ships from European cities of Portugal, Spain, Italy, UK and Germany. But these are luxury tours, and if you do not have that in mind, availing them for transportation will be a mistake.
