Hi shirish, all Thanks for working this into a wiki.

It is a great way to see South Africa cheaply, and feel the local vibes. Overall I would say though that unless you have a connecting flight from JHB to CPT (I think those are the airport abbreviations) or LOTS of time, then it becomes a schlep. Unless you have about a week to get down to Cape Town, it really is logistically difficult, and undue stress, so try to get directly into Cape Town. > >> >> b.
