So if you have frequent flyer miles because you fly a lot or have frequent flier points because you use certain credit cards a lot, you should see if you can get free air tickets or cheap flights to Johannesburg, the main hub for South African Airways. SAA is the biggest airline in Africa, and it often has cheap flights to Johannesburg.

Today, most airlines belong to one of the major airline alliances. South African Airways belongs to the Star Alliance. One benefit of the alliances is that if your airline does not fly directly to South Africa (thus no cheap flights to Johannesburg or Cape Town),or if it does not fly to Kenya (Nairobi), Tanzania (Arusha – Kilimanjaro, Dar es Salaam) or Namibia (Windhoek, one of its airline alliance partners should.

One example is if you have a lot of points on United, you can fly to one of these cities on South African Airways. If you have enough points, then you have a good chance of using your frequent flier points to get a free flight to South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Victoria Falls or Namibia to go on your safari. This is obviously the best cheap flights to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Nairobi or any other African city.

Here is what you have to do to get the free flights:

  • find your airline you have frequent flyer points with,
  • see what alliance it belongs to
  • contact them and tell them you want to use your frequent flier points to get to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Windhoek, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam or Arusha. (This is the best way to get cheap flights to Johannesburg or these other cities!)

We’ll meet you at one of these airports and take you on your safari. It’s as simple as that!
