Hookers are very affordable there. They come in all flavors. Lots of white, asian, and indian.

Go with the ones operating out of gated townhouses. You won't have any trouble with them.

Delta has a direct flight from ATL....Decent Business class, but no 1st Class.   If you want a great experience try getting on one of the Middle Eastern Airlines....Emirates, Qatar

Best European Business class is Air France or Lufthansa...

Best Air Plane is A380....very quiet and a lot of room

Keep your head on a swivel when stopped at stop lights or "robots" as they call them. Your car doors need to stay locked at all times, other than that, get yourself a blue work / painters suit and a five gallon bucket and you'll fit right in.

Where exactly are you staying..Sandton, Gauteng?

Do you have a rental car?   If so I you could drive to a safari camp or Kruger Park.  There are plenty of day safari opportunities as well.

If you are a big fan of Nelson Mandela you could visit all his monuments and his house, jail cell etc

I just missed Diamond on Delta last year.  I am Exec Plat on American so I've been trying to find flights with them or codeshare partners.  That likely means flying BA out of LHR but I'll be asleep for the whole flight anyway.  BA sucks and the food sucks.  They at least have pods in business class...atleast they do to Bangalore.

I'm sitting on the Tarmac in DFW right now but if I'd recall there was an A380 from CLT to LHR.  I originate in TUL so I have to trick our travel portal to give me the flights I want.

Once I figure out where I'm actually staying I'll definitely let you know.  Appreciate the help.

Fly to DC and take South African Airways from DC to Dakar to JoBurg. SAA is a great airline and good food on the plane.

Get a rental at Joburg and drive(only slowing for red lights in Joburg mind you) to Koomatiport then go to Kruger Park to see amazing wildlife. (long drive, think it was like 450mi.)

I've never been to the Dark Continent.  I wanna to take the time to do the things we never had.

It has to be something that a hundred men or more could do...really 2 people.  Also, something that I could realistically leave work at 4:00 PM and be back for sleep on Sunday night.

Any recommendations?

There is a zoo outside of town.  Go see the white lions.   They had an enclosure with 3 month old cubs in it that you could be escorted into and pet the cubs.  I did this 12yrs ago, so things might have changed.    I'm not much of zoos, but it was a high light of our trip.

I did that in 2007, so your info was still good 10 years ago.  

One of the pens was called "Chinese Takeaway" because not everyone stays in the car.

Yes  if you look here really hard you will see a couple. Also this is the reason that they only have 3 month old ones there these were just about to be moved on to the next enclosure as getting too old. Clamped me round the throat and ripped the shit outa my shirt is was awesome.

Mostly because I'm a status/mileage whore and South African Airways is not a codeshare partner with AA.

I'll be in Sandton for work and likely very close for lodging.

No A380s out of Charlotte...DC is the closest BA A380.  I flew BA on their A380 from DC to LHR last year in Business and it was decent.  

Qatar is an AA partner..Tulsa to DFW to Doha to JNB.  Not going to get on the A380 but Qatar Business Class even on the 777 is way better than British Airways.   Looks like they also fly the new 787 from Doha to JNB...

I just returned from South Africa this morning after being there for three weeks.  I spent little time in Johannesburg, mostly for transit purposes but the limited time I was there I used Uber for transportation, clean, safe - easy to get around.  

Four days in Sabi Sands (adjacent to Kruger - up close to lions, elephants, Cape Buffalo, rhinos, leopards, wild dogs, cheetah - and many more - I think we counted over 25 mammals.

We did two days in Durban which we probably would not have gone to but we had friends there.

Ten days in the Winelands/Cape Town - fantastic wine and food - also was able to go to Robben Island and see Mandela's cell - our tour guide was a former political prisoner.  Very sobering.

South Africa does have a crime problem - but if you take precautions it's no problem.

We rented a Toyota Fortuner (basically a 4Runner) but it had the HiLux Diesel.   too bad we can't get those in the US.

Honestly I can't say enough good about South Africa - fantastic place - I hope we can go back.
