South Africa’s national carrier, SAA, has announced special airfares from major cities down under - but you have to book soon. Tickets range from AU$1450 ex Adelaide to AU$1650 ex Sydney.
As a bonus, you’ll get a free return flight to Durban, Cape Town or the Nelson Mandela Metropole (NMMM, a.k.a Port Elizabeth). Note that these are all good surfing cities - and locally, flights to them ain’t cheap, so that’s quite a deal.
Once here, you can adopt one of our several national greetings, which range from “Sawubona” (saw-woo-BOH-nah - Zulu), to “Howzit Bru” (HOW-zit BROO - Soufeffrikan Inglish). The latter’s probably more appropriate for an Aussie.
For more information, give your travel agent a call, or visit the SAA homepage.

Paul, fortunately you aren’t limited to SAA in your choice of carriers. To get to Egypt, for instance, you might want to have a look at EgyptAir (which is usually pretty cheap); Air Namibia for Namibia, and so on. For budget airfares, I’ve had the most luck with Flight Centre:

Thanks for the info on getting to SA. I have a question on getting around once I’m there. I am hoping to move to Stellenbosch in 2007, and I plan to do a lot of international travel once I’m there. I am in a state of near panic upon seeing the prices on SAA to get anywhere! 2 international trips a year for my wife and I will bankrupt us. Do you have any bargain travel airfare resource recommendations out of South Africa? I am hoping to travel to Egypt, Namibia, India, and Russia while I’m based in Stellenbosch.
