Flight time
The flight from Auckland to South Africa takes roughly 20 hours with a stopover. It's a bit of a haul but that will immediately be forgotten when you see your first baby elephant or herd of zebra.
South Africa is a country that dazzles with diversity – from wild savannahs to edgy cityscapes to the turquoise coastline and white sands of your dreams.
Watch elephants, giraffes and rhinos roam at sunrise in Kruger National Park, feel the sea breeze on your face at Cape Point, or hike Table Mountain for panoramic views that will leave you utterly speechless.
In Cape Town, colourful neighbourhoods, harbourside precincts and buzzing food markets are brimming with life, while Johannesburg hums with creativity and a bold, artistic spirit.
Food and wine lovers are in for a treat – sip award-winning vintages in the Cape Winelands, feast on fiery Durban curries, discover Cape Malay flavours in Bo-Kaap, and tuck into sizzling braai (barbecue) wherever you go.
Up for adventure? South Africa has it in spades – cage-diving with great whites, hiking, kayaking with penguins, river rafting, cycling and so much more.

The best time to visit South Africa depends on where you're headed: May to September is ideal for safaris, spring and autumn shine in Cape Town, and Durban’s coast offers warm, beach-perfect weather year-round.
South Africa is 10-11 hours behind New Zealand depending on Daylight Saving here so there's a bit of an adjustment to be made.

Walking into a travel agency as a teenager it immediately sparked a passion for travel. Being able to explore various countries, experience different cultures, seeing iconic landmarks right down to getting off the beaten track still fuels this great love of mine.
I have 20 years of travel experience in South Africa where I specialized in Corporate Travel, Groups & Incentive Travel. Winning the ASATA Diners Corporate Consultant South Africa 2013 is one of the biggest highlights of my career.
After 3.5 years out of the industry, I am ecstatic to be back in the intriguing travel industry. It is a privilege to create dream holidays to South Africa, Mauritius, Seychelles, Madagascar, Botswana Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique & Swaziland which were once on my doorstep.
With Europe being an overnight flight from South Africa I had some great opportunities to travel to Europe and visit London, Ireland, France, Greece, Turkey but my all time favorite European destination is Spain.
The Cayman Islands is one of those destinations I often heard of and never dreamed I would visit, but when my brother moved there my family and I couldn’t resist the opportunity to visit this iconic island.
My husband, our 2 young daughters and I immigrated to New Zealand in 2019. We thoroughly enjoy travelling throughout New Zealand, exploring and experiencing the beautiful scenery wherever we go.
“Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.”
My favourite thing about this job being able to explore and research lots of cool destinations daily and creating some cool itineraries is really exciting.
I love hearing all about the trip and my client’s experiences when they get home but it’s certainly making my book-it “list” turn into a novel.
My favourite place I have visited is Puerto Rico - from the beautiful white-sand beaches and the best coffee & chocolate I’ve ever had, this country is so rich with culture. It’s sure to be a memorable port stop on your next Caribbean Cruise.
The next place I would love to explore is South America - from Argentina, along the Amazon from Rio, Brazil, Venezuela and Peru!
"Hayley recommended an upgrade to Premium Economy for only $200 more. What a lovely experience it was! Apart from personal attention from Hayley, I felt secure in the knowledge if anything was to happen, Hayley would have been there for me -- as she was two years ago when I extended my stay in South Africa"
Ingrid"She was prompt and efficient."
Beth"Sandy was so helpful when it came to adjusting change over flights so we didn’t have to have long layovers at airports and allowing us to spend more time with our family the day we leave. So happy she was able to do that for us."
