Depending on your order, destination city, preferred varieties and transport possibilities, we will advise whether it is better to ship from Kenya or from Ethiopia.
This decision can depend on:

📍 Main South African Cities for Flower Import
🌆 Johannesburg and Pretoria
Johannesburg is one of the most important commercial centres in South Africa. For flower importers, wholesalers and distributors, O.R. Tambo International Airport is often a key entry point.
From Johannesburg, flowers can be distributed to Pretoria, Sandton, Midrand and other areas in Gauteng.
This is a strong option for buyers who need regular flower supply, wholesale volumes or onward distribution.
🌊 Cape Town and the Winelands
Cape Town has a beautiful wedding, hospitality and event market. Together with Stellenbosch, Paarl and the Winelands, it is known for luxury weddings, hotels, restaurants and destination events.
For Cape Town buyers, flowers can be planned around:
💍 Wedding seasons
🏨 Hotel decoration
🍷 Winelands events
🎉 Corporate functions
🌸 Special occasions
☀️ Durban and KwaZulu-Natal
Durban has a strong coastal market with hotels, florists, event companies and wedding venues. For Durban buyers, logistics need to be checked carefully because direct cargo routes may differ from Johannesburg and Cape Town.
Depending on the season and airline options, flowers may arrive via Johannesburg, Cape Town, Maputo or another connection before reaching Durban.

Depending on the flowers and country of origin, documentation may include:
📄 Phytosanitary certificate
🧾 Commercial invoice

✈️ Air Waybill

For the website, I would make the headings in dark green, use rose-pink buttons, and maybe add small flower photos between the city sections. That will make the page feel much less “plain blog” and more like a professional flower export landing page.
