Are you planning on visiting South Africa? No matter the reasons, whether you are a tourist or a businessman that needs to visit this part of the world, you hope to find the best services there are and you hope your stay will be enjoyable. If your plane lands on Cape Town Airport, rest assured. It is the second biggest airport that South Africa provides its visitors. A perpetual flow of tourists passes the gates of Cape Town Airport each year and most of them leave the place with a smile on their face.
It is one of the busiest and most visited airports in the entire country. Apart from this, it has won many awards such as the leading airport in Africa. This award was offered in 2012 during the World Airport Awards. Here you can find two terminals for domestic and international flights and these two terminals are joined by another terminal that connects these two. Another great thing is that most of the flights are direct, so it doesn`t matter if you`re from Europe or the States or any other country or continent; you will most likely have a direct flight. Cape Town Airport is not too far from the city center, the distance between these two points being of 22 km.
Another important aspect that most tourists or businessmen are interested in is the available means of transportation to and from the airport. Since Cape Town Airport is renowned for offering top quality services, the options are many. If you don`t have too much time at your disposal, the most practical solution is to rent a car. Think of all the time you`ll save and all the car rental companies have great package deals so you won`t have to worry that you`ll end up spending a lot of money on this means of transportation. The car you will choose will be waiting for you right in front of the airport so you won`t have to carry your baggage around or arrive late at your destination because the car will be right there.
Make sure to rent a car in advance and give the operator any necessary specifications if you want additional services. You can also ask for a driver. It would be best to have a driver if you don`t know the roads or if you haven`t visited this part of the world up until now. And besides, you might be tired after a long flight and the last thing you want is to drive around town. Interacting with a driver can be a good way of finding out more interesting things about South Africa, about great locations and about its customs and traditions.
