Durban to Cape Town Travel Guide

Cape Town sprawls out on the south-west coast of South Africa, sandwiched between towering Table Mountain and the wild Atlantic Ocean. And while the landscape around might be rugged, the city is a series of colourful neighbourhoods packed with polished museums, parks, boardwalks and wine bars.
Best of all, it’s really easy to find cheap direct flights from Durban to Cape Town – just try out our smart search engine.

Table Mountain, the Cape of Good Hope, Boulders Beach – the scenery around Cape Town really knows how to pack a punch.
The city itself is a mishmash of sleek harbourfronts, grand galleries and rainbow-bright houses. And the recent past is never far away. Just take a look at the District Six Museum and Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela spent 18 years in prison.

Remove any excess packaging from items like toiletries to further reduce unnecessary weight in your case. Another option is to pick airlines that engage in recycled materials where possible, for example, Lift Airlines serve all the available meals in 100% recycled packaging, bought from companies that support local recycling projects.
