Celebrating together

Celebrate the great late President Nelson Mandela centenary year of his birth at this year’s African Travel Indaba. As part of the celebrations, South African Tourism will be launching the updates to successful Madiba's Journey App, which will feature 100 tourist attractions of significance in the life of the iconic leader. Make sure you’re at the opening cocktails on Tuesday 8th of May in the evening for a night to remember.

DID YOU KNOW: The United Nations World Tourism Organisation states that in 2017 the number of international travellers reached over 1.3 billion, yet of these Africa only received 62 million – 5% of the worlds tourists. As tourism businesses we can grow this, and we encourage you to use the various networking platforms Africa’s Travel Indaba offers to collaborate and share insights and ideas with your fellow industry colleagues. So far, we have exhibitors confirmed from 21 countries – so make sure you get a head start on the online diary system and start making those bookings today!

Fun in the sun

With its beautiful golden beaches and humid subtropical climate, we encourage you to take some time before, after and in-between the show to experience Durban. Enjoy the city's beachfront from Durban harbour in the south to the upmarket suburb of Umhlanga in the north. Visit Moses Mabhida Stadium and view the city from a SkyCar or uShaka Marine World. Enjoy an eclectic mix of Indian, Zulu and post-colonial influences in the city’s architecture and cuisine. For inspiration: log onto www.shotleft.co.za and www.visitdurban.travel

Wow! Stunning! Hilton seems to be taking Africa by storm. Just a couple of years back, they opened the first ever in Eswatini.

Thank you for sharing such a detailed review about ethiopian airlines in your post. I am an avid traveller and keep reading flight reviews to assess the options available. Your review particularly drew my attention because you have shared so many pictures to capture every aspect of the flight experience. It is a very nice effort.

I am really tempted to book the next ethiopian airlines ticket and relive your journey. The pictures shared with the post also reflect that you truly enjoyed the travel. Great post! I also like the fact that you have covered nuances about the food and entertainment service through the pictures. It helps people know what to expect on their travel by this airline.
