Since there's no direct LHR-GBE flight, suppose it depends on your routing preference, vis-a-vis connecting airport and preference of onward travel airline. JNB or CPT? SA or BP?
Sale-wise, BA just finished their January sale, so the next one may be a ways away... likely April for J, or August for Y?

If you plan on checking luggage then there is a significant advantage to booking this as a single ticket (avoids immigration and other formalities at JNB) but it will also be more expensive than making a separate booking on Air Botswana.
AMS-JNB in business will be about £1800 for those dates. JNB-GBE return is about £150

Hi thanks for the reply. Good suggestion re single ticket. I have found only two routes from LHR so far i.e LHR/LCY to JNB with choice of carriers( direct, 1 or 2 stop), then JNB to GBE with SAA or AB, or, LHR to GBE via Addis A with Etheopian. You are about right with your pricing, but as there are 8 of us I am looking for the best deal I can get. Don't know whether its worth waiting for the next BA sale

I can actually see AMS-JNB fares at about the £1,550 level for those dates, even for 8 people. Every little helps?
