With the Cape Town festival on from the 19th to the 22nd March (which is also Human Rights Day) and the Stormers taking on the Cheetahs at Newlands on the 20th, we're not surprised that flight prices are way pricier than usual. British Airways is the cheapest of the lot at R755 from Durban to Cape Town (check other flight prices to Cape with the airline price comparison tool). Interesting also that Mango Flex (R826) is far cheaper than the standard Mango flight price (R1098) - but if you'd read our tips for cheap flights you'd know this happens.

Pretty pictures of Cape Town

Lucia's photos of Cape Town came out so well, that we had to choose her as a winner. And we're lucky we got them - her trip to Morocco got cancelled, and she chose to ignore the warnings of the scaremongers about how dangerous Cape Town is.
