Second in the country and fifth busiest airport in Africa operates a lot of local and international flights and provides relatively good spotting opportunities. The most convenient spots are located within the terminals and airport parking garages. In the terminal there are big windows suitable for photographing both in landside and airside zones. But probably the best spot is on the upper floors of P1 multilevel parking accessible by the walkway from the terminal. Spots near the Erica Drive in the northeastern perimeter of the airport allow making photos with the Table Mountain in the background, but are not safe and require the car. At Spot 5 security staff will arrive soon and will ask you to leave. Spot 6 in the top of small grassy hill is quieter, but much further from the runway. On the hill you can be disturbed by locals, not always friendly.
