Why go

Long, but the cheapest way to see a proper southern-hemisphere summer — and the one destination where the city, the mountain and the coast are all in the same week.

What to know before you book

  • The South African file needs an appointment and takes two to six weeks; start before you book
  • A yellow fever certificate is checked on arrival from Burundi — bring the original
  • Minors travelling need full birth documentation; this catches families out every year
