Travel
Note that the meeting will be in the southern Summer, and Stellenbosch (and all of South Africa) will be busy, so arrange your flights and accommodation early.
Visa Information
Visitors from link title most EU countries, US, Canada, Japan, Australia and most of South America don't need a visa to visit South Africa. The complete (official) list is available at the Department of Home Affairs. The Department also has the details for a visa application. Please contact Bernd Fischer if you need an invitation letter to obtain your visa.
Getting to Stellenbosch
The closest airport to Stellenbosch is Cape Town International (CPT). Most international flights connect in Johannesburg, but there are direct flghts from London (Virgin, BA), Amsterdam (KLM), Paris (Air France), Munich (Lufthansa), Zuerich (Edelweiss), Istanbul (Turkish Airlines), Doha (Qatar Airways), Dubai (Emirates), and Singapore (Singapore Airlines). Note that some of these flights are seasonal and operate only during the Summer, so they might not show up yet.
CPT is about 35km from Stellenbosch; the best transfer option is to book an airport shuttle:
Note that some companies provide a direct taxi service which is more convenient but more expensive (prices for this should be around US$40-45). Please contact the companies directly.
Stellenbosch is small and easily navigatable by foot, and the venue is in walking distance to most hotels and B&Bs. You won't need a rental car unless you are planning to stay on a wine farm, or to go on a road-trip before or after the conference.
Accommodation
Stellenbosch offers a wide variety of different accommodation options. Prices range from about US$15 for a hostel to US$200+ for a top-end hotel; most B&Bs will be in the range from US$70 to US$150. Please make your own arrangements. Below is a list of downtown accommodations that have been used before by other meetings. The Stellenbosch tourist office has more alternatives, including wine farms.
