Amapiano star Nkosazana Daughter performed on the Piano People stage at Afro Nation in Portugal.
Afro Nation Portugal, held annually on the beaches of Praia da Rocha in Portimão, has become a bucket-list festival for many South Africans. But between flights, visas, accommodation and spending money, the trip requires a sizeable budget.
Flights are usually the biggest expense. There are no direct flights from South Africa to Portugal. You can fly straight to Madrid and connect to Portugal. Most itineraries connect through Doha, Dubai, Istanbul or Addis Ababa.
Recent fares show:
Budget deals: from around R11,000 return. Average economy fares during festival season: R13,000–R18,000 and last-minute bookings can easily exceed R20,000.
