Christmas in Winter Flights |
28 June 2013 flights |
If you've always dreamt of a white Christmas, head down to the town of Tulbagh, near Cape Town, for their Christmas in Winter festival. The town will be decorated with Christmas trees and lights, and the local restaurants will serve up traditional Christmas dinners for visitors to enjoy. If you are lucky, there may even be some snow to top off the winter Christmas experience. Full weekend passes are available for R30 per person and include entrance to all participating wine farms, museums and festivities in Church Street.
The cheapest flight to Cape Town we found was R1 015 with Kulula, departing from Lanseria Airport (prices will change). Shosholoza Meyl's train fares have increased this week, but their economy class train continues to be the cheapest option for travel from Johannesburg to Cape Town. A Kia Picanto or similar can be rented from Cape Town International Airport for the weekend at R340 from Car Trawler (prices will change).
