Unlike Johannesburg, Cape Town doesn't have direct flights from India. However, excellent connections via Dubai, Doha, Addis Ababa, or Johannesburg make the journey smooth. Many travelers prefer flying to Johannesburg first and taking a short domestic flight to Cape Town.
Cape Town's airport is conveniently located just 20km from the city center, with easy access to all major hotel areas. The scenic drive from the airport, with Table Mountain views, is a perfect introduction to this beautiful city.
For the best experience, consider a multi-city itinerary: fly into Johannesburg, watch matches at Wanderers, then fly to Cape Town for cricket at Newlands and exploring the Western Cape wine regions.
