What it means for airline travelers

• Gateways: Nairobi (NBO), Johannesburg (JNB) and Cape Town (CPT). All are long-haul with limited daily frequencies from North America.
• A safari has a fixed start day. Miss it and you may miss the ship too. On standby, plan to arrive at least two days before the land program begins.
• The trip is open-jaw. You fly into the safari gateway and home from wherever the cruise ends. List both segments early.
• Interline rates: not mentioned in the report.
