Tour with friendly planet to SA in October 2016

Just booked a trip with friends through. Friendly Planet to South Africa. It is their Taste of SA tour. Reviews were good on trip advisor, prices are amazingly low. I'm most interested in your experience on SAA, South Africa Air. It's a long flight from New York. If you have flown SAA (economy) or have experience with Friendly Planet, would love your feedback.

Hi,

I've flown this route from Johannesburg to New York and back with SAA in 2013. Yes it is a really really long flight! In my opinion SAA is a great airline, comparing favourably to some of the more well-known airlines that I've flown with (specifically on long-haul routes). They have really friendly service and some of the best airline food in my opinion. I've also flown with them to Brazil and back in 2014 and had a similar great experience.

I hope this helps!

BRR - I just came across your post. How was your South Africa trip with Friendly Planet? Was the number of people good or too many? Were the flights ok? Was it a good balance of safari and city touring? I'm interested in going later this year and looking to see how you liked it.
