Stop Over in Johannesburg – Safaris and Shopping en route to Down Under

Johannesburg in South Africa is an exciting stop-over option on the way to Australia! When South African Airways introduced the new connection, it was received with great enthusiasm.

The reasons are as simple as they are convincing: Travellers from Europe suffer no or hardly any time difference on the first leg of the journey. Having left everyday life far behind and well rested after an African stop over, the second flight is a breeze.

Of course, there are more than technical reasons to visit Johannesburg. The city offers countless attractions ranging from world-class shopping in Sandton and a vibrant nightlife to exciting safari excursions.

Johannesburg is a gateway for exploring the world-famous Kruger National Park or any of a number of private game reserves. Most of the safari destinations are reached in less than an hour on a local flight. The Pilanesberg National Park and Sun City are reached in 2.5 hours by ground travel.

African big game safaris and a holiday Down Under – certainly a unique combination! A special recommendation goes to the Saxon Hotel in Johannesburg – the hotel itself merits the trip!

The best of two worlds: stroll the streets of Sandton and shop to your heart’s content before catching a flight to one of South Africa’s fabulous safari lodges. With abundant wildlife and attractions to spare, the most popular reserves are the Kruger and the Pilanesberg National Parks as well as the Madikwe and the Marataba Game Reserves.

Come face to face with Africa’s exotic wildlife and indulge in the some of the world’s most sophisticated safari lodges before continuing your trip to Sydney – the perfect stop-over! What is more, the SAA offers exceptionally good deals for flights to Australia and enjoys a spotless reputation as a world-class airline.

With time to spare, your African experience may also include a visit to the southern metropolis Cape Town. Talk to the experienced team of INTOSOL travel consultants. It is a pleasure for us to tailor a personal itinerary for your
