OR Tambo International Airport is the primary domestic and international gateway for South Africa. It is also the busiest airport in the country, handling more than 19 million passengers every year. The Johannesburg Airport is also the hub of the country’s largest international and domestic airlines, South African Airways aside from being served by other airlines that provide connections to numerous destinations all over the world.

Driving is the best way to get around the city so many travellers opt to arrange for car hire at the Johannesburg Airport as soon as they arrive. Public transport isn’t as reliable in the city as it is in other parts of the world so it’s better to have a car handy particularly for those trips outside the city centre.
