Hi,

My friend and I are planning to be in South Africa in Oct.  We want to fly
roundtrip to Victoria Falls (from Kruger Park) and also to Dar Es Salaam,
and maybe also to Cape town.  I believe it may be cheaper to book flights
from within S. Africa rather than from her.  Does anyone know anything about
this?  Or can you give the email of a good travel agent in South Africa?

Thanks.

Carolynn,

Try Fligh Centre at http://www.flightcentre.co.za/

However, one very annoying thing when booking tickets within S Africa
is that they often only accept credit cards issued in S Africa, so you
end up having to pay in cash or have a friend use his credit card.

You can forget about flying to Vic Falls from Kruger Park. The only
flights in and out of Kruger (Skukuza) are to Jo'burg and they are
quite expensive. And Kruger Park isn't that long a drive away from
Jo'burg anyway.

Also, to Vic Falls try lo-fare Nationwide. They fly to Livingstone
which is on the Zambian side of the falls. The lowest price is quoted
R 840 (one way) or R 1550 (return) on their website, and they also
seem to fly to Dar Es Salaam (R 2350 rtn). However, their website
specifies that their fares are only bookable in S Africa with a S
African-issued credit card.

Also, try BA which do many regional flights over there.
