Cape Town International Airport serves as South Africa’s main gateway to the Western Cape, operating as an international and regional hub for full-service carriers and several low-cost airlines. It’s typically the most convenient option for visitors, sitting about 20–25 km (roughly 20–40 minutes by car) from the city centre depending on traffic. Transport choices include metered taxis and app-based ride services, airport shuttles and private transfers, plus regular MyCiTi bus services that can take around 30–50 minutes for a lower fare. Expect a mix of comfortable terminal facilities and occasional peak-time queues; prices can be mid-range compared with domestic airports, while transfer times vary with rush-hour congestion.
Harare is served primarily by Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport (HRE), the country’s main international gateway and hub for regional carriers and a few international airlines; a smaller number of domestic and charter flights may also use smaller aerodromes around the city. The airport sits about 18–25 km northeast of the central business district, typically a 25–45 minute drive depending on traffic. Ground transport options include taxis and ride-hailing services, airport shuttles and private transfers; local minibuses (kombis) can be cheaper though less predictable. Travelers often find HRE reasonably convenient for international connections but can encounter variable terminal facilities and occasional queues; fares and service levels tend to reflect a mid-range price perception compared with larger African hubs.
