About Cape Town
Also known as The Mother City, Cape Town is an ever-growing melting pot with an eclectic population. If it’s blue-flag beaches and sprawling mountain ranges don’t lure you in, the numerous wine farms are sure to keep you entertained. In the unlikely event that you aren’t enthralled by the natural beauty of the Western Cape, you can easily immerse yourself in the bountiful cultural and historical heritage that is showcased in the plethora of museums that are carefully maintained to provide locals and tourists with an in-depth insight into the unique heritage this city inherited.
Cape Town is home to more than 4 million people, making it one of the biggest cities in South Africa. It contains the oldest building in South Africa, the Castle of Good Hope, which was built in the late 1600s. Afrikaans is the most spoken language in the city, followed by Xhosa and English.
Cape Town is also one of the most popular holiday destinations for those living in Johannesburg. It is a short, 3-hour flight away – a small sacrifice for those looking for pristine beaches over the festive season. Cape Town is also a booming business hub.

There are two airports located a stone’s throw from Johannesburg: O. R. Tambo International Airport and Lanseria Airport. However, most international flights use the former.
FlySafair
Flysafair is one of the more recent airlines on the scene, offering some of the best prices for local flights. This airline became active in 2004, but the founding company (FlySafAir) has been around for more than 50 years.
The difference between FlySafAir and other airlines is that FlySafair offers reduced rates for those flying without checked-in luggage, often for much cheaper prices than the lowest prices offered by competing airlines such as Kulula and Mango.
Note that the flight prices indicated on the FlySafAir website are excluding prices for checked-in baggage. FlySaFair has its hubs at O.R. Tambo International Airport, King Shaka International Airport and Cape Town International Airport.
