A tip on the flight from JNB to LIV: get a seat up front. The BA and SAA flights arrive within 15 minutes of each other and immigration (2 officers) can become a real snafu. Also, if you plan to go to Zimbabwe buy a double entry visa on arrival ($80).
Thanks for the tips. I'm going to bet that 3 blank pages will be enough. I'm suffering from "bureaucratic travel fatique" (things like being required to get yellow fever vaccination when there's no yellow fever risk) so I'm not inclined to spend even more money on nonsense if I don't need to.
