        "question": "Which cities in Zimbabwe can I fly to from Johannesburg?",
        "answer": "From Johannesburg you can fly non-stop to Victoria Falls, Harare and Bulawayo. Victoria Falls is best for the waterfall and safari activities, Harare is the capital and main business hub, and Bulawayo is closer to Matobo National Park. One-stop options via regional hubs like Addis Ababa or Nairobi are also available but rarely needed on this short route."
      },

        "answer": "For Zimbabwe, May to October is the dry season with excellent wildlife viewing and comfortable temperatures, especially in Hwange and Mana Pools.

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to O.R. Tambo Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Johannesburg, the Gautrain rapid rail is the fastest and most popular option, running every 12 minutes directly to the airport from 05:15 to 22:00. Metered taxis and ride‑share services provide door‑to‑door convenience at a higher cost, while accredited shuttle buses from nearby hotels offer a mid‑range alternative. Driving yourself is possible with ample parking at the airport, but the train remains the quickest and most reliable choice during peak traffic.",
