Cape Town arrival time?

Does anyone know the approximate time of arrival at The One & Only hotel on Day 9? It's after a long day of flying, three flights.

    When are you going?

    There has been a change for 2017. On Day 9 there are only two flights- "Makgadikgadi airstrip to Maun, then on to Cape Town, South Africa." There is no longer a stop/plane change in Johannesburg according to the 2017 itinerary and route map.

    Maybe this Wiki info is correct/old news and Maun is or will be able to handle larger aircraft with the endurance and speed to make a quick flight direct to Cape Town without a stop in Johannesburg.

    "The airport has gone under recent expansion. A new runway is in the process of being built. The terminal is small and is outdated. Plans for another new terminal is also in the process of being built."

    Currently, SAA flies the EMBRAER EMB-135 regional jet between the two, three days a week (Mon, Wed, Sat.) It is a 2hr, 35 min. flight. As far as 2016 it is probably still three flights, hopefully someone will weigh in with the current times.

    Someone on the forum mentioned that their trip only had the two flights, but if this is only three days a week maybe it will not be on every tour departure. I think this means a call to Tauck if it is very important to you and maybe you can let all of us know who are taking the tour in the next few weeks.
    I just checked our spiral booklet itinerary for this September, and it is two flights, no Johannesburg

    We are also booked in September, but we don't have a spiral bound itinerary. Did Tauck send it to you.

    Tauck sends it once you are paid in full. If you paid in full over a week ago, call Tauck. If you paid in full but booked through a travel agent, give the agent a call.

    We have paid in full and the booklet arrived very quickly, just a few days. We booked directly with Tauck.

    We are on the Sept 3, 2016 trip starting in Livingstone, Zambia. We're trying to find out approximately what time on Day 9 do we arrive in Cape Town. Trying to arrange meeting old friends there for dinner.

    Have you called Tauck yet to ask them, you will probably get an instant answer
