Book cheap flights to Indonesia

There’s no bad time to visit Indonesia, with its year-long summer days and warm rainy days. The islands have two seasons, which span from April to October (dry season) and November to March (wet season). The islands experience tropical weather with temperatures ranging between 24°C and 32°C throughout. The best time to visit Indonesia would be in the dry season, as the beaches will be available for sunbathing and day time exploring will not be interrupted by the rain. Resorts and holiday accommodation are packed throughout this time though, so it would be best book far in advance, or consider visiting during the wet season.

South Africans who wish to visit Indonesia can do so without a visa. Your passport will need to be valid for six months from the date of your return to South Africa.

It is always important to have your vaccines up to date when you are travelling. When visiting to Indonesia, it is recommended to get a vaccination for hepatitis A, as you will most likely be eating food that is unfamiliar. You should also get a shot for typhoid if you’ll be doing any trips to smaller, more rural areas of the country. Other vaccines that are recommended are hepatitis B, yellow fever, malaria and rabies.

Please also note that Indonesia has had reports of the Zika Virus, and thus pregnant women are advised against travelling there.
