DESTINATION OF THE MONTH – BRAZIL

Make your way to beautiful Brazil this month!

Visit a country that has a little something for each and every one of its visitors all year round. When you’re not relaxing the world–famous beach of Copacabana, you can hit the streets and take in the culture at Carnival. Mix with the care–free, colourful locals, unwind at the 5 star hotels in Rio de Janiero, do a little shopping at their many world–class shopping malls and, when the sun sets, you can hit the town to enjoy its bustling nightlife.

Brazil also caters well for business tourism and is a favoured destination for conventions, congresses and expos, particularly in the city of San Paolo.

So whether you’re going there for business or to escape the cold winter, it’s the perfect getaway for all. Book your holiday with us, and make memories in one of the most striking countries in the world.

WE’RE NOW FLYING TO... MOZAMBIQUE

Situated on the south–eastern coast of Africa, Mozambique has made a name for itself as one of the jewels of Africa. A holiday in Mozambique provides a combination of glorious weather, gorgeous scenery, friendly people and great value for money, becoming an increasingly trendy destination for global travellers.

Its palm–fringed coastline is washed by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean and graced with long white beaches, excellent coral reefs and strings of pristine islands. Whether you’re seeking a sun and sand beach holiday, or sport fishing and off–road adventures, warm and welcoming Mozambique will cater to your every desire.

Why not treat yourself to a mid–year breather by visiting Mozambique, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. Now SAA operates daily flights to Maputo, so there’s no excuse not to get on board and take flight.

PRESENTING A REFRESHED SAWUBONA MAGAZINE

SAA has the pleasure of introducing a superb, fully refreshed Sawubona, the airline’s on–board magazine. Our customers will be able to enjoy flipping through the pages of this quality publication as of the 1st of April, 2013.

So, what has been enhanced? Well, apart from the new design– which reflects the unique warm, vibrant qualities of our airline– the magazine strategy focuses on repositioning the publication into a bold, yet elegant periodical with a quintessentially South African flavour that is attractive to our country’s readers as well as our global customers.

In addition to supporting all of SAA’s routes each month and stimulating awareness of routes that need a boost, the new approach includes being a positive voice for SAA, South Africa and Africa by setting the agenda and telling our own success stories, whilst highlighting growth opportunities with more elegance, wit and finesse.

Get on board and enjoy flipping through the pages of our new and improved Sawubona magazine.
