All you need to know about getting your customers to South Africa
Safari sunrises, days on the plains and sultry nights, your customers can fly between the UK and Africa with one of Virgin Atlantic direct flights between Heathrow and Cape Town or Johannesburg.
Flying to Cape Town
Our flights to Cape Town can get your customers within easy reach of beaches, culture and beautiful people: Cape Town has it all.
Cape Town is not just about the beach, although your customers are spoilt for choice between Clifton and Llandudno. Nature-lovers can hike up the Twelve Apostles or swim with the penguins at Boulders Beach. If it’s history your customer is after, they can catch a boat to Nelson Mandela’s former prison cell at Robben Island or uncover the city’s secret past at District Six Museum
