before you go
Everything you need to know before planning your dream trip
When to travel
November to February is the busiest time, but March to April and
September to October are popular. Whale watchers should visit July to
October, whilst May to October is a good time for safaris – it can get
cold on game drives so pack a fleece.
How to get there
Your holiday will begin with a British Airways or Virgin Atlantic
flight from Heathrow to Johannesburg, or British Airways to Cape
Town – the average flying time about 11 hours, although as there is
only a 1 hour time difference there’s no tedious jet lag.

We have been using Azure to arrange our holidays for over 12 years. Every year usually twice a year, sometimes more, we rely on the experienced team at Chester to provide expert information on our chosen destinations. Be it a return to our established favorites in Barbados and Dubai or a new and exiting destination chosen from Azures brochure it is always handled in a friendly and competent manner. The small details are not missed such as do we need late check out or early arrival, which can make such a difference after sometimes long hours travelling. For us using Azure takes the uncertainty out of booking holidays.
