How to get there
Most international airlines fly to South Africa (e.g. South African Airlines, British Airways, Lufthansa, airberlin/LTU, Turkish Airlines, KLM)
Direct flights to Johannesburg are offered all year long, while direct flights to Cape Town depend on the season
Use local airlines (1time, Kulula, Mango) to get around
Visa information
No visa required for nearly all nationalities. You get a tourist visa at the airport which allows you to stay 90 days and can be renewed at Home Affairs.
Tipping
Waiters/waitresses get a minimum salary, so it is common to add 10% tip to the bill.
