Friday night flight prices

In our regular Friday night flight survey (when it's more convenient to fly, but prices are more expensive than during the week), Mango Airlines is cheapest. BA (British Airways) & SAA (South African Airways), whilst not cheapest, are the cheapest they've been since 7 Jun 2008 (unusually, SAA is cheaper than Kulula).

* one-way flights from Johannesburg for Durban between 1729 & 2036 on Friday the 17th Jul 2009
** BA & SAA's lowest economy class flight prices since our 7 Jun 2008 DUR-JNB survey
*** most expensive bus/coach price from Johannesburg-Durban we've ever recorded for Translux/Greyhound
**** cheapest SA Roadlink bus/coach trip from Johannesburg to Durban since 30 Aug 2008.

Californian Londonite ventures into Etosha

Notching up country number 49 (South Africa) and 50 (Namibia), this adventurous 20-something Yankie (who resides in London) took some pretty clickies along the way (thanks for sharing). Her and her man caught a 12-hour flight from London to Cape Town, a 2-hour flight from Cape Town to Windhoek Namibia (what a pain that Air Namibia London-Windhoek flights have been suspended) and then rented a Toyota 4-wheel drive with which they ventured into Namibia's Etosha National Park, where they stayed at Onguma (on the eastern edge). Her photos are evidence of the ton of wildlife they saw on their guided game drives - from the feared black mamba snakes to the king of the junmgle - lions ("We woke up at 4am each day to the sound of mating lions").
