Getting To AIMS from Khartoum Sudan

Our trip to Cape town was almost 14 hours. We started off from Khartoum at 04:15 am after a delay of more than half an hour. Our next stop was Nairobi Kenya, where we had to walk for about 200 meters from the plane to the airport building, we then had to get to gate number 14, the last one in building. We had no time to enjoy Nairobi airport because we had to hurry to the gate. We stayed in Kenya for about an hour and a half. We arrived at Johannesburg at about 12:15 and immediately proceeded to the domestic flights airport without collecting our luggage because the Kenya Airways employee in Khartoum told us that we could collect our luggage in Cape Town. After collecting our boarding passes to Cape Town we were asked for our luggage, we had to go back to the International Airport. When we came back our flight had left, but luckily there was a flight in an hour which we caught.
My first impression of Cape Town was that it was a green city with not very many people because driving to AIMS we did not meet a lot of people or cars. I think it is a city which grows on you, the more you drive into Cape Town the more captivating it becomes.
