What to expect in the May/June 2026 issue of Sawubona magazine…
As winter settles across the southern hemisphere, join us as we journey from bushveld mornings to balmy coastlines, discovering how to transform winter into a season of possibility with South African Airways’ network, strengthened by trusted codeshare partnerships. Whether you seek a safari adventure, a bush lodge retreat, or coastal escapes, we invite you to explore destinations that bring warmth to winter and create unforgettable memories.
In commemoration of Africa Day on 25 May, we encourage you to veer off the typical tourist path in Johannesburg and Cape Town and be deliciously rewarded. You will realise that Africa doesn’t just exist on maps; it can also be savoured on a plate, if you know where to look. Next, find out how African comic artists are creating a new generation of superheroes. We’ll also share insider tips on how to make your next African safari the best experience possible, along with key considerations when making that booking.
Beyond Africa, we highlight SAA’s expanding relationship with Argentina, a country of vibrant contrasts and endless adventure. With our direct flights to São Paulo and our Star Alliance partner, LATAM Airlines, travellers can connect seamlessly to Buenos Aires. With multiple daily departures and a flight time of just three hours, Argentina is closer than ever, offering experiences ranging from the glaciers of Patagonia to the vineyards of Mendoza.
Additionally, read about how to make the most of a quick 48-hour visit to Germany’s financial capital, Frankfurt. The city rewards curious travellers with medieval lanes, world-class museums, and a beer culture that has nothing to do with Lederhosen.
If mid-year has you losing focus on your health goals, we offer advice on how to remain committed to your wellness journey, regardless of where your travels take you. Finally, we explore why travellers are increasingly seeking deeper psychological and emotional connections – not just relaxation – during self-care spa days, as well as the emerging trends shaping how (and why) South Africans eat today.
For these stories and much more, we invite you to read the May/June 2026 issue of Sawubona magazine.
