Bloemfontein Airport is the gateway to “the city of roses”, the poetic reference to the capital city of the Free State province of South Africa. It is called so because of the abundance of these flowers and there is also an annual rose festival held here. Visitors to this city will enjoy seeing cheetahs, lions, tigers and leopards. You should not miss to touch the animals and also get close to them physically outside the zoo environment.
The airport is located in this city and is one of South Africa's small airports. It serves about 250,000 passengers annually. The airlines that serve this airport are Mango which flies to Cape Town and Johannesburg and South African Airways that flies to Durban and Port Elizabeth. Most of the passengers that use these domestic flights are businesspeople. From the airport there are different ways to travel around and one of them is to hire a car that can be rented from companies like Avis, Hertz, Sixt, Budget and Alamo. You can also take a taxi that will drop you to your exact destination. Car renting however is the best because you will drive yourself at your own pace and enjoy the splendor of this beautiful city. There are buses and shuttles that take people to the city center at regular intervals.
Staying in Bloemfontein is easy and very comfortable, because there are various modern hotels like The Urban Hotel, African Lodge and Olive Hill Country Lodge to name just a few. You can do prior booking on any of the hotels and it can be even cheaper if the management can arrange pick ups and drop offs to and from the airport. It is always easy to pay one package that will give you all the services that you will require.
