Travel to Johannesburg

Ranked amongst the top 50 global cities of the world, Johannesburg is vastly connected with almost every major city of the world, which makes it easier for tourists to figure out how to reach Johannesburg. Though, there used to be direct flights from India to Johannesburg, that were operating from Mumbai, but because of lack of demand the route has been redirected via Abu Dhabi. Now, there is no other way to reach Jo’burg from India directly, but one needs to hop on break journeys from other nearby cities. One can cover the India to Johannesburg distance of around 6960 kms in the minimum time frame of 11 hours while boarding a one-stop flight.

Global access to Johannesburg is via its O. R. Tambo International Airport located in Gauteng province at a distance of 30 minutes away from the city centre. Most of the international flights to South Africa land on this airport and some do in Cape Town and Durban as well. But O. R. Tambo is one of the busiest airports of Africa, and there are more than enough cheap flights to Johannesburg from different Indian cities to help your commute.

Let’s take a look at how one could travel to Johannesburg while boarding a flight from India.

The best available India to Johannesburg flight is operated by Air Seychelles from Mumbai via Mahe, Seychelles. The flight takes 10 hours 40 minutes, which is the fastest you can go from India to Johannesburg. Another daily flight from Mumbai is Ethiopian Airlines via Addis Ababa, which takes 11 hours 45 minutes. Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways have regular flights from all Indian cities via their respective hubs at Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha. The best flights from Delhi are flown by Emirates and Ethiopian Airlines. From the airport, you can take the Gautrain, a rapid transit network which will take you to the CBD in 25 minutes. One can also avail the hotel shuttle bus service by intimating your place of accommodation in advance. There are minibus services and car rentals too.

Guru Bangalore

S's 5 days trip to Johannesburg

The team at TravelLykke have been very professional in their approach right through. They have been very patient and understanding of the requirements and accommodative to all kinds of doubts and queries and options too. Fairly transparent in the dealings and have a good set of on-ground contacts in S Africa who too have been professional and on time without delays and exceptions. A suggestion: there were some legs where we were informed we need to take Uber (to & fro Robben Island & Table Top Mountain). For the kind of spends done by us (Rs 3 Lakhs +) overall, it would have been helpful if these too could have been accommodated in the package. It is the nuisance value of having to book, wait etc. Also more minute detailing of the Full day Cape Peninsula tour could have been share earlier - we got it on landing from the local guide and it was very educative. Why not share this ahead of time? Some travel agencies give a backpack or travel kit (the amount of Rs 3 Lakhs is HUGE) with your branding. In this case it is singularly absent. Wonder why? We stayed in 3 hotels - Emerald Guest house in Johannesburg (Rating Poor to Good only); Kruger Park Adventure Lodge ( Excellent); Holiday Inn Express at Cape Town (Excellent).

Mayankmaki's 9 days trip to Johannesburg

The trip was very well organised and all our requirements were met. We had issues due to flight delays and we were late for one tour, our travel planner Mrs Prerna was very helpful and proactive to adjust the tours to accommodate everything. From last minute hotel booking to providing rental car , she was quick to respond and also regular reminders before trips to ensure smooth communication between us and South African operators. Would surely recommend their services The views with clouds sliding in all around the mountains and ocean at the cape point during the cape peninsula tour.

Aniruddha's 9 days trip to Johannesburg

We had an amazing trip to South Africa. It is a beautiful country to visit with very hospitable people around. Everything went well without any hiccups. The hotels, cab drivers and other details were well planned by Nikhil from Besten/MK Holidays, special thanks to him. Some elements which can be improved were the visits planned during our stay at Knysna as they were quite some distance away from our hotel. Will definitely recommend Travel Triangle to others for planning their trips.
