TAAG  FLIES INTO LISBON

TAAG Angola Airline has relauched its flights between Luanda and Lisbo exactly two years after all flights were suspended by the Safety Commission of the European Commission.The bans are imposed on those carriers that the Commission feels ddo not have satisfactory safety standards. Ameeting of Portugals National Civil Aviation Institute (INAC) held in July recommended that Angolas national airline be removed from the blacklist in order ro relaunch flights between the two countries.

The College of Commissioners accepted  this recommendations and August 1,A BOEING 777-200ER took off from Angolan capital enroute to Lisbon.According  to astatement issued by INAC it will also have to present reports to the Safety Commission “with a view to removing all Angolan airlines from the so called blacklist”

The Safety Committee is a consulting  group of the Commission that evaluates the safety of air transport in different countries throughout the world.At the time it was banned TAAG carried out six flights per week between Lisbon and Luanda.In April the Commission noted “significant progresss” had been made by the airline but opting, however , to keep  the ban on the Angolan airline.INAC also said that its involvement was “important ” for gaining authorization for TAAG to fly to Lisbon,specifically via its cooperation protocol with its counterpart in Angola,Invac.TAAG  Angola Airlines (Linhas Aereas de Angola) is the national flag carrier of Angola.Based in Luanda,the airline has alarge domestic network and flights to other parts of Africa and South  America.Like Ethiopian Airlines and South African Airways ,TAAG has been one of ythe  few profitable sub-saharan African carriers and one of the few to recently purchase newly built aircraft as opposed to second-hand aircraft. It is 100% state owned by the Angolan government and itself owns 100% subsidiary Angola Air Charter.

ZAMBIAN  CARRIERS  STILL BANNED

Zambian carriers have also been identified  as problematic but according to local airline, Proflight Zambia ,the main reason for this is that within Zambia ,the licensing process ( and so the system of overseeing) is done by the Ministry of Transport whereas the world norm is for licensing to be done by Civil Aviation Authority.

According  to a spokesman for Proflight the way the blacklisting has been reported ,including by the British Foreign Office Advisory for Travel, implies that Zambian aviation as an  industry is unsafe.Proflight is working with the UK Government to address the problem of the FOAs wording.

DELTA STOPS  ANGOLA  FLIGHTS

How to find cheap flights in South Africa

If you travelling in South Africa and need to find a cheap air flight within South Africa, is easy if you follow some basic rules. It gets quite busy between the big cities of Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban so flights book up really quickly, so its best to check all the budget airlines that service these destinations.

Here are a few tips to get a cheap flight within South Africa and still find a seat:

The best way to get a cheap air flight to Cape Town or Johannesburg is to do research and check all the sites that allow you to make a booking. There is no one way of getting the best price all the time – the only way to get the cheap air flights is to ensure that you check as much sites as possible
There are basically three types of airfare websites which you can check the for the lowest air fare.
Aggregators that check airfares for many different airlines but I have noticed that the prices of these websites is usually higher that the airlines own website as they allocated a set number of seats only.
Traditional booking engines that check multiple websites and take a small fee in addition to the price of the flight. They process the sale on behalf of the airline and keep the fee.
Airline’s own websites – These usually offer the cheapest air fares but it does make sense to check the other websites to get an indication of what you should be paying.
If you can try not to travel on a Monday or Friday – these are usually the busiest times and when most business people travel. Here are some the airlines to check when flying within South Africa.
Always specify that you want the lowest available fare – websites give you the option to search over a few days which increases the chance of a the cheapest flight available.
If you see a great deal, book it immediately – flight prices are based on demand and supply so in all likelihood the quicker the flight fills up, the increased chance the prices will increase.
Also consider cancellation fees – the cheaper the flight the less chance you will get a refund if you miss your flight as well as paying a surcharge if you need to change your flight.

Flights to South Africa – How to Find Cheap Airfares to South Africa From Uk, London, Canada, Usa, Manchester, Ireland, Australia, Via Dubai & Asia

Being Flexible Can Save You Money on Your Flights
If you are willing to fly to South Africa on a Tuesday or Wednesday you have a better chance of finding cheap flights to Cape Town or cheap flights to Johannesburg. Airlines generally offer the more discounted airfares to South Africa in the middle of the week rather than over weekends. This is simply a matter of supply and demand.  Most people want to fly over weekends or on Friday or Monday. 

In Low Season Fly Into Cape Town Then Get A Cheap Local Flight
Most airlines that fly to South Africa have Johannesburg flights, not flights to Cape Town.  Johannesburg is South Africa’s business capital and by far the largest city with the busiest airport.  To keep their airport slots in Cape Town (which is a booming airport in high season) the airlines have to fly to Cape Town in the off season even when traffic is a lot less. Yes, they cut back the number of flights but even then there is sometimes more supply than demand. So compare the airfares for Johannesburg to the airfares to Cape Town – then look at domestic airlines in South Africa to get you cheap airfares between those two cities or to get to Kruger for an African safari. Low season in Cape Town (May to August) is a great time for wildlife safaris in the northern part of South Africa.

Find Discount Plane Tickets To South Africa by Flying Through Another Country
Another effective strategy is to look for flights to South Africa by flying via another city or country. For example look at flights to South Africa via Dubai if you live in the UK or the USA.  If you are looking for cheap flights to Africa from Australia look at traveling via Singapore. If you are looking for cheap tickets to Africa from Ireland look at flying via Amsterdam, Paris or Frankfurt. If you are looking for cheap airplane tickets from London, Manchester or elsewhere in the UK, look not just at flying from London but look at flights from the Netherlands.  The added benefit here is that you get to extend your holiday by flying through another interesting place.

With rising oil prices, prices for flights to South Africa are expected to continue to be high in 2009, 2010 and beyond.  Using these tips will mean you pay as little as possible for your flights to South Africa.

Sanbona Wildlife Reserve – the best safari in South Africa near Cape Town?

I’d say for most people, certainly first-time visitors, there are two things they really want to include in a South Africa holiday: Cape Town and safari. And why not – Cape Town is one of my favourite cities in the world, with its amazing location, great restaurants, excellent V&A Waterfront development and all of the beauty of the Cape Peninsula right on your doorstep, whilst safari is a thrill I can never get enough of. No matter how many times I do it, or where I do it, or whether it’s a whistles-and-bells luxury safari or a super-affordable self-drive safari, I love every second, anticipating the thrill of the next wildlife encounter.

So the obvious question becomes how to combine Cape Town with a bit of safari. Key safari destinations are the Eastern Cape, The Madikwe and the mighty Kruger. But these are all quite a journey from Cape Town: what if you don’t have the time or inclination to head that far in search of your big game? Well, I may have the answer, provided in the form of a lovely surprise from my wife.

We were in South Africa last year on a brief holiday, choosing the wines for our wedding; so we were based in and around the Cape Region. Being a brief holiday I knew we didn’t have the time for a bit of safari so I was delighted to find Rachel had sneakily booked us a night at Sanbona Wildlife Reserve, about 3 hours’ drive from Cape Town.

I’ll admit to being slightly sceptical at first. I’d always been a bit sniffy about the various game reserves close to Cape Town: it’s not traditional “big game” country. That’s not to say it hasn’t been in the (distant) past, but being the first area settled by Europeans, all the indigenous big game was shot out many, many years ago. So I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The first thing that struck me was the size, and isolation of the reserve. I really like to feel like I’ve got a slice of wilderness to myself, and Sanbona delivered this in spades. It’s 54,000 hectares in size. It’s difficult to put this into perspective, but I’ll try. It’s over 200 square miles, which makes it about a third bigger than the Isle of Wight, and it only has three small lodges on it. So you’ve got a reserve bigger than the Isle of Wight, which you’re probably sharing with fewer people than live on your street! If you like wilderness, you can’t fail to be blown away as you drive across the reserve, seeing valleys and ridges unfold all the way to the horizon, all of them given over to conservation and reverting to their natural state.

Moving onto the game, it should be pointed out that Sanbona is billed as a wilderness experience as much as a game experience. It’s not like a private reserve in the Kruger or somewhere similar, where high game densities and decent numbers of vehicles out on game drive mean you’re going to almost be tripping over the Big Five. Sanbona makes you work a bit harder for your game: there’s less of it about, and there are less people on the ground looking for it. Still, we saw more than enough game to keep me happy. It started with the Verreaux’s Eagle that was soaring above the ridge outside our tented suite (more on the suite later!): a nice sighting. Out on game drive we spent a bit of time with a nice herd of eland. They are an amazing animal that doesn’t really get enough attention on regular safaris. The largest antelope in South Africa, they can weigh up to 840kgs – as much as a smallish black rhino, and they can vault a 2 metre fence from a standing start. They were venerated by the indigenous San people and feature heavily in their rock art, which dots the reserve.

We spent some time parked on the shores of a dam, watching a couple of hippos grunting, snorting and displaying those fearsome tusks of theirs before continuing on our way. Down in a river bed, thick with scrub we almost drove straight past some giraffe. Five metres high and orange, yet somehow they blend magnificently into the bush! Heading back to the lodge, our ranger pulled over in the fading light and pointed up a stony slope towards a small group of about five impala. I love impala, I think their skin colour is gorgeous and the proud horns of prime males are a wonderful sight; however they are just about the most common thing you see in the bush and I couldn’t quite work out why we’d stopped to watch them in the gloaming. Then I saw it, a twitch of tawny fur, the top of an ear tuft: it was a cheetah, stalking the impala. What followed was fifteen minutes of exquisite torture as the cheetah inched closer and closer to the impala, displaying incredible patience, skill and camouflage. Eventually it had worked itself into a small clump of scrub about 5 metres from the closest impala. Excitement in the game drive vehicle rose to fever pitch – all of us, ranger included, were certain we were about to witness a dramatic chase, and in all probability a kill (I’ve never seen one before). However, anyone who owns a cat will tell you they are perverse and occasionally frustrating creatures, and this cheetah was no exception: for some reason he decided not to pounce, but to slink off into the darkness. Who knows why, but the whole build-up was still hugely exciting and a real highlight of the trip.

The following morning whilst out on drive, we were lucky enough to find Sanbona’s most mythical animals, the white lions. A recessive gene causes their fur to be much paler than normal lions and caused them to be regarded as divine by indigenous people. Prized by hunters, and very rare anyway, they survive through rebreeding projects such as that at Sanbona. Studies suggest they are just as effective at hunting as their normal cousins, contrary to received wisdom that suggests their colour makes it easier for prey to spot them. Anyhow, the ones we saw looked pretty healthy and we were able to follow them for quite a while as they bimbled along one of the paths.

So all in all we had some pretty good game viewing, especially as we were only there for about 24 hours! The one major animal that eluded us was the elephant. There is a herd on the reserve but despite covering a lot of their usual territory we didn’t see them. I’m not entirely surprised by this: although I joked earlier about not being able to spot the giraffes, they are at least slightly camouflaged – elephants are the biggest land animal and are a completely different colour to the surrounding bush. Adult elephants have no predators so they have no need to blend in. And yet I can recount numerous occasions where I’ve been in a stationary game drive vehicle less than 20 metres from an elephant and not spotted it. They can, when the mood takes them, but very quiet and move incredibly gracefully, like grey ghosts. Clearly they were in this sort of mood whilst we were at Sanbona!

As promised, now a little about our tented suite. I loved it – all the thrill of being under canvass but with great comfort and luxury as well. Nestled at the base of a cliff home to, as we’ve seen, Verreaux’s Eagles as well as some baboons, and with a dry river bed running under the raised deck (and plunge pool!), it really felt like we were deep in the African bush. Not so deep that the chef wasn’t able to rustle up a truly superb evening meal though.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Sanbona, and now when I’m asked if it’s possible to combine Cape Town with a convenient safari destination, I know exactly what the answer is: Sanbona!

Africa is the second largest continent after Asia and is reckoned round the world by dint of its diverse landscapes, dense forests, rich culture and impressive history. It has amazing wealth of natural wonders, and serves as world’s second most traveled destination. Let’s here discuss the African countries that have made the European tourists their aficionado.

One prominent and only direct flight to Zimbabwe, Harare is offered by Air Zimbabwe, the flagship carrier of the country.
Namibia however is less traveled county as far as flights form UK or US are concerned yet, still there is a large number of a Namibian national or settlers who make the Windhoek International Airport very busy near national holidays and Christmas.
