Flights in Africa

Hi everyone, Can anyone suggest a domestic carrier within Africa. We are looking into cheap domestic flights and would like to hear from you with respect to suggestions and experiences. If there are better modes of transportation please let us know.
Thanks!

Africa is a big Continent.

Where in Africa? Between countries? If yes, which countries?

If in-country, which country and from where to where?

Your best bet is to check the Flyer Talk site flight info. You may also find some answers on the Airline section of Fodor's.

You can fly from Cairo to Nairobi. From Nairobi to Uganda and from Nairobi to South Africa, Johannesburg; from here to Namibia. But I'm sure there are other flights.

Try www.kayak.com to see which carriers fly between all or some of your destinations.

To travel from Cairo to Entebbe, I believe you need to go through Nairobi on Egypt Air or Kenya Airways or Addis Ababa on Ethiopian. Kenya Airways flies between Entebbe and Nairobi. Nairobi to Johannesburg is on Kenya Airways or South Africa Airways. And between Johannesburg and Windhoek there are flights on SAA, Comair (BA affiliate), or Air Namibia. Fares within Africa are not cheap as there is often little choice or competition and very few LCCs (low cost carriers) which operate mostly within South Africa.
