Had planned a trip around South Africa that sees us end up in Livingstone in the final days. As far as I can see there are only 2 flights from LVI to JNB, one SA and one BA, both depart around 1.30pm - leaving 9 hours to connect. All good if things go to plan, but the risk is if those flights are cancelled.

The other option is to take a flight the day before, giving more options if things go wrong, but a day in JNB is not attractive. Assume from this thread that BA wouldn't help.

Collective wisdom, would you risk it?

remember that if you are going airside you will need a yellow fever certificate to enter south africa from zambia
