Welcome to South Africa, to a fusion of vibrant colours, diverse cultures, erratic sub-tropical climates, and spectacularly beautiful landscapes.
From the south-westerly tip where 2 mighty oceans meet, to the northeast where the Big 5 predominantly roam, this is the country where the gold rush started and where humanity was born.
Bordered by Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Mozambique and encompassing the kingdoms of Swaziland and Lesotho, South Africa is the powerhouse of Africa - this celebrated ‘Rainbow Nation’ has 11 official languages spanning 9 provinces; Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape, North West and Western Cape.
With a favourable exchange rate, visitors to South Africa are astounded by just how much bang they get for their buck! Offering world class accommodation, fine restaurants, and superb shopping malls, SA is one of the least expensive holiday destinations around.
And Up And Go’s holiday destinations in South Africa feature an eclectic range of accommodation categories to suit all tastes, budgets and occasions. From a ritzy boutique hotel in the city for the business traveller, to a safari tent in Big 5 Territory – a family self-catering beach getaway or a corporate conference in the mountains. Up And Go has a growing portfolio of establishments sure to meet all criteria. Just turn the pages to the easy search features to find the accommodation which best suits your needs – or drop us an email with your requirements and we’ll be glad to make suggestions.
This country is big on the outdoors; wildlife, beaches and sport - where a barbeque is a ‘braai’, the countryside the ‘bushveld’, a traffic light is a ‘robot’, a pick-up truck a ‘bakkie’ and where rugby is ‘King’!
Heed the call of the wild, follow the drumbeats and return to the root of where it all began.
