Anyone who goes on holiday to South Africa and does not (immediately) choose Kaapstad (but of course you will go there later, because how could you not), and those who don't feel like it Johannesburg to drive all the way to the coast (and save yourself a long long car journey) flies into Port Elizabeth. Really true. To get the Garden Route to follow. Ha! Of course, there are also other constructions to consider, but flying from Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth is 1) short (1,5 hours), 2) very affordable (35 euros per person) and 3) you are immediately in a nice city where there are still quite a bit to eat and the steps are worth it. We call that pure profit.
