I recently had a chance to visit South Africa with DH.
The travel itinerary was something like this:
Saturday 11 May 2013:
Departed LCCT for Singapore Changi Airport early in the morning, to catch a Saudi Airlines flight to Johannesburg, stopping at Riyadh and transiting at Jeddah. By the time we arrived in Johannesburg/Joburg it was Sunday afternoon local time, 30 hours after we left home!
Sunday 12 May 2013
Monday 13 May 2013
Joburg to Kruger National Park
Our Safari Lodge – Africa On Foot
Our first game – we spotted the lions and elephants
Tuesday 14 May 2013
Afternoon Game Outing – we spotted some leopards!
Wednesday 15 May 2013
Thursday 16 May 2013
Friday 17 May 2013
Saturday 18 May 2013
Sunday 19 May 2013
Left Cape Town early in the morning to catch afternoon flight to Singapore, transiting at Jeddah. Arrived in Singapore late Monday afternoon, and took a Firefly flight back to Subang (Kuala Lumpur).
I hope you enjoyed your trip to South Africa. You were very lucky to see a leopard!

Thank you, Jane. Yes, we considered ourselves lucky 🙂
One thing we concluded is that our stay in South Africa was just too too short 😦

As Salam… I have always been fascinated with travelers… I love to read their experience. I want to do the same too insyaallah.. Now that things are more settle at home…would love to hear how you check for tickets, especially when you leave from other than kuala lumpur…for instance in this journey, you took Saudi air from Singapore. Do you do it through agents or do you have any recommended websites?? Jazakallah

Salam Hazimah,
Sorry for this late reply (I have been ignoring my blog for a while now..)
We did all the bookings ourselves (we here refers to hubby 🙂 ) , except for certain parts where we had to engage a travel agent (like in Myanmar), or when we think that’s the easier way to go (like with certain parts of our Turkiye trip, and the Kruger National Park).
As for cheap fares, just google “cheap airfares” and you’ll be directed to a few useful sites/engines that do the search for you. Good luck! 🙂
