For those traveling to Namibia, the main international airport is Hosea Kutako International Airport in Windhoek (WDH). If your safari starts in Sossusvlei, Etosha, or another part of Namibia, we can advise you on connecting domestic flights to make your journey smooth and efficient.Botswana
Travelers heading to Botswana typically fly into Sir Seretse Khama International Airport in Gaborone (GBE) or Maun International Airport (MUB) for safaris in the Okavango Delta and Moremi Game Reserve.

While Knap Tours focuses on safaris and travel within South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana, we understand the importance of a stress-free travel experience from the moment you depart. Here are some general tips for booking flights to Africa:
- Book Early: International flights to Africa can get quite expensive, especially during peak travel seasons (such as summer and the holiday period). Book your flight well in advance to secure the best rates.
- Flexible Dates: If your travel dates are flexible, you may find better deals. Airlines often offer cheaper flights on less popular days of the week.
- Layovers and Connecting Flights: Depending on where you’re flying from, you may need to take connecting flights to reach your destination in Africa. If you’re flying from North America or Europe, major hubs like Dubai, London, or Addis Ababa often serve as layover points.
