When flying to Africa, public transport, however, can be very economical, and buses are available throughout the continent yet may require slightly more planning, and minivans are common modes of transport between countries.  If you book cheap flights to South Africa, consider using the Baz Bus which is useful for transporting you on several popular routes to major attractions.

Most countries in Africa will require some form of visa for Qatari citizens to enter the country so bear this in mind when you book cheap flights to Africa.  If your flights to Africa are for Kenya, you can apply for an E-visa, or obtain a visa on arrival which is valid for 90 days. Also, if you have flights to Africa in the south, you will be pleased to know a visa is not required for stays of up to 90 days. It is advisable to check if your vaccinations are up to date, especially if you are visiting zones which have high levels of yellow fever or malaria.
