When to fly

Johannesburg's climate is characterized by mild summers and dry, cool winters. November is the warmest month with an average high of 26.8°C, while December is the wettest. During the winter period, especially in June and July, temperatures can drop to 3.6°C, although these months see the least amount of rainfall.

For budget-conscious travelers, October is the most attractive month, with ticket prices starting AED 295. September also offers affordable fares starting AED 297. The most expensive time to fly is May, when the minimum cost rises to AED 366.

September is considered one of the best months for a trip: the weather is pleasant before the rainy season begins, and airfares remain at their lowest. To save money, we recommend avoiding bookings for January and February, when prices are traditionally above average.

How to get the best deal on a Gaborone — Johannesburg ticket

  • Book 20–30 days in advance: On short regional routes, prices tend to rise sharply just before departure, so booking early will secure a fare AED 301.
  • Compare baggage allowances: Air Botswana and Airlink often use smaller aircraft where carry-on weight and size restrictions may be stricter than those of major carriers.
  • Choose daytime flights: Morning and evening departures are in high demand among business travelers, which means seats sell out faster and often cost more.
  • Monitor the price schedule: Shifting your departure date to mid-week (Tuesday or Wednesday) often reveals better deals compared to weekend travel.
