British Airways are offering the cheapest business class flight from Durban to Johannesburg, and Mango Airlines' R488 is their cheapest flight price since our 18 Apr 2009 Durban to Joburg flight survey (before you write to me that you can find cheaper flights, remember these are Friday flights at rush hour, so more expensive than off-peak hours). Premier Classe train prices have dropped back to R870.

A Kimberley experience on World Tourism Day

Muzi caught the Shosholoza Meyl train from Johannesburg to Kimberley as part of a media group invited by SA Tourism to the World Tourism Day celebrations in Kimberley, where he was booked into the Protea Hotel Kimberley (which is within walking distance of the Big Hole). After seeing the Big Hole (see photo), they were driven to Lilydale Rest Camp a new addition to the Mokala National Park, from which they went for a 3 hour game drive. Lilydale consists of 12 self-catering chalets overlooking the Riet River, and activities include river rafting and fly fishing.
