Flight Considerations:

Cape Town / Johannesburg - 2hrs, Cape Town / Port Elizabeth – 1hr, Johannesburg / Port Elizabeth – 1,5hrs
Most game reserves are within a further 1,5 hr flight from Johannesburg.
International flights - if your flight goes directly to Cape Town it will probably save some time to do the tour post-meeting. Remember you can use your visit to for example Mala Mala as part of your flight back home and link up with your international flight from Johannesburg instead of Cape Town.
If your focus is on wildlife we recommend that you fly in and out of the reserves.
