The O. R. Tambo International Airport is located near the city of Johannesburg and is the primary airport used for both international and domestic travel. The airport is approximately 20 minutes away from the center of the city. Taxi from the airport takes around 40 minutes to reach the city center and is much more expensive while the metro takes around 20 minutes and less expensive. 

 

The following are the best methods to cover the Chennai to Johannesburg distance.

 

Chennai to Johannesburg By Flight: The fastest method of travel from Chennai to Johannesburg is the Emirates flight. The distance between Chennai and Johannesburg is approx. 7133 km. The flight takes approximately 14 hours and 35 minutes, with only one layover in Dubai for 2 hours. Air India flights take 19 hours but have two layovers at Mumbai and Addis Ababa Bole International Airport of Ethiopia. There are several other Chennai to Johannesburg flights with the duration being more than these.

 

Chennai to Johannesburg By Road: There are no roadways connecting the two cities from India to Johannesburg, and neither is such travel feasible.

 

 

Chennai to Johannesburg By Train: Similar to road conditions, there are no railways directly connecting the two cities, and it is impossible to travel between the two cities by train. However, one could always travel to Mumbai by train to book a flight from there.

Guru's 10 days trip to Johannesburg

The trip was well organized and the local drivers and guide allocated for our trip were very professional. The coordination by Travel triangle was flawless and had a great user experience. I will recommend to all my friends to utilize the services

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.
