Budget for a longer total journey time than the flying time alone suggests.
Flying from Kimberley. Kimberley Airport serves the Northern Cape’s capital — a city built on diamond mining and now a regional government and services hub. Most departing passengers are mining-sector workers, government employees, and families visiting relatives in other provinces. Kimberley sits on the N12 corridor between Johannesburg and Cape Town, so driving is a genuine competitor on both those routes.
What you can actually book: Kimberley → Johannesburg → Gqeberha
No airline flies Kimberley to Gqeberha non-stop. Every itinerary changes aircraft at Johannesburg, so these are the two legs your booking is built from — compare each one to see where the money actually goes.
The live search above prices the full connecting itinerary in one booking, which is usually cheaper and protects you if the first leg runs late. Comparing the legs separately is worth doing when one of them is on sale — but a self-booked connection carries no protection if you miss the second flight.
Some dates route through Cape Town instead — compare Kimberley to Cape Town and Cape Town to Gqeberha if the Johannesburg connection prices badly.
Best Time to Book & Travel
For the most competitive fares, booking 4–6 weeks in advance is highly recommended. Peak holidays push prices up; shoulder seasons are often better value.

If the fare is the problem, not the route
