Botswana was recently named the number 1 place to visit in 2016 by Lonely Planet, which also happens to the 50th celebration of the country's independence.
The route will appeal to travellers who want to combine a city experience in Cape Town with a Botswana bush safari, and allows for the shortest possible travelling time. The airline intends on increasing capacity on the route from August 2016 for peak season.
Airlink also operates daily services to Botswana between Johannesburg and Maun, as well as Johannesburg and Kasane.
