Traveling to southern Africa

[Anonymous]

Looking to do a safari over Labor day weekend, but flights are tricky. Most flights are passing through Qatar or UAE, or have 3 flights vs 2
Would you just book the 3 flight options to avoid those countries?

Flight United from DC to Newark and connect to South Africa from there.

Where are you trying to get to? Many one stop options via Europe to major cities in Africa.

We love the Atlanta to Johannesburg or Cape Town nonstop flights (have taken both).

Avoid Qatar and UAE. Do whatever you need to do to do that.

I've done a KLM from Dulles to Amsterdam and then connected to Joburg or Kigali from there

Where are you trying to land? It is absolutely unnecessary to fly to the Middle East from the U.S. to reach Southern Africa. You can fly nonstop from Newark and Atlanta. Or try London, Frankfurt, Madrid, Amsterdam, Zurich. So many options.
