Let's go to South Africa!

From Europe is really no other way to South Africa than by plane if you are on a standard vacation. But if you have plenty of time and if you are even a little bit courageous then we can find out some other scenarios!
Attention: Regular flights are mostly fully booked many months in advance even if they are not yet on the schedule!! If you do not book at minimum a half year in advance you will have only a small chance to get the tickets you like. Most companies give you the chance to book 364 days in advance. Last minute booking is in my experience a real hazardous game except you are single and independend in departure and arrival dates.

attention: all information without any warranty. Please read my disclaimer
Most of the airlines fly via Jo'burg. But Mombasa, Nairobi, Harare, Windhoek are stop over towns. Various other cities are also used by some airlines. As far as I know is a Non-Stop-flight from Europe to Cape Town only available and that all not on every day of the week. What type of flights the airlines offer is a matter of permanent changing. So I'm not able to give you an advice.
Daylight flights may be nice but you arrive in Cape Town shortly before midnight!
Be aware that changing the plane in Jo'burg means that you have to claim your baggage and  walk through customs and to check in again. A time consuming process!!!
Please remember that even airlines like: offer flights to Jo'burg or Cape Town.
List is not complete!
Here you can read a list with comments to many companies
Not all flights are direct flights but that's better than nothing.

The best service I think you will find on flights with KLM.
Non-stop flights from Amsterdam are available and direct flights via Jo'burg to Cape Town too.
