Mother City

Our favorite holiday of the year is visiting the Mother City Cape Town. We ALWAYS use Mango Airlines to fly from Durban to CT. The flight is just over 2 hours and we have never had a bad experience.

There is nothing on earth quite like the vibe of Cape Town over the summer holidays. It’s my favorite time of the year when I get to fly from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town for vacation. Got some great flight specials from Kulula Black Friday sale this year and cannot wait to begin my holiday.

Travel during Covid

Dianne

I was very weary of travelling to Cape Town during Covid but had to see my family. I flew on Safair and everything was fine. The process was smooth and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I can say to fellow travellers that as long as you abide by the rules you will be fine.

Table Mountain Splendour

My favourite time of the year is when I get to see Table Mountain. It means I am officially on holiday and what better way to spend it than in the Mother City. A shout out to Flysafair too for always giving me some great prices on my flights to Cape Town
