This offer from Rwandair takes you from Paris to Johannesburg and back for just €437 – a fare that includes full board service and two checked bags of 2 x 23 kg each. It comes with the downside of a change of planes in Kigali in each direction.
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Skyscanner with your selected flight dates.

Flights in each direction feature one change of planes in Kigali. The long flights from Europe to Rwanda are operated by Airbus A330-200 aircraft. The economy cabin features a 2-4-2 seating pattern with a generous 81 cm seat pitch. While the reviews of the inflight service tend to be favorable, the airlines’ ground staff has built up a bad reputation. A Boeing 737-800 takes you from Kigali to Johannesburg.
Search & Book
According to the fare rules, this fare is valid without a sales or travel period. There is no minimum stay, either. You can find flights from September 2024 to May 2025.
Google Flights helps you find additional flight dates. While online travel agencies sell the cheapest tickets, the safest way is booking your flights directly with the airline. Given Rwandair’s reputation when it comes to customer care, it may be worth it to save the money in this case.
Miles & Points
You can only earn miles with RwandAir’s own frequent flyer program Dream Miles. A flight from Paris to Kigali should earn you roughly 11,000 miles.
Destination
Information & Tips for South Africa
South Africa offers a diverse range of attractions, from the iconic Table Mountain and Robben Island in Cape Town to the wildlife-rich Kruger National Park and the scenic Garden Route. The local currency is the South African rand (ZAR), and while credit cards are widely accepted, cash is still commonly used, especially in smaller towns. The cost of travel is generally affordable, with budget-friendly options available for accommodation, food, and activities. The weather varies by region: the coastal areas have mild, Mediterranean-like climates, while the inland areas can be hot and dry in summer and cooler in winter.
South Africa’s transport infrastructure is mixed in quality and convenience. Within cities, public transport is limited, with minibus taxis being common but often confusing for visitors; private cars or ride-hailing apps like Uber are more reliable. Between cities, domestic flights are the fastest option due to long distances, while intercity buses offer affordable travel, though journeys can be long. Trains exist, but are generally slow and not widely used for tourism.
