This September, be part of history as you join a dig in the caves that cradled our ancestors’ remains. Beat the drums of peace, that carry three spirits within. Hike to the hole that frames the sea. It’s your country, enjoy it with Sho’t Left Travel Week. A week of deals and discounts from 8 – 14 September on flights, stays, tours and experiences in your backyard. Pack a bag, hit the road, and rediscover the magic of Mzansi – without breaking the bank.
“Tourism Month in South Africa isn’t just a celebration – it’s a whole vibe of discovering your backyard,” says Mashoto Mokgethi, Head of Domestic Tourism at South African Tourism. “We’re inviting every South African to find their Joy by taking a Sho’t Left. Whether it’s a spontaneous road trip, a coastal escape, a city break filled with culture, or a wild bush adventure. Explore South Africa your way. Set your budget, pick your province, pick your activities, and then plan your itinerary to start making memories.”
Sho’t Left Travel Week coincides with Tourism Month 2025, themed “Tourism and Sustainable Transformation.” The campaign encourages exploration across all nine provinces – because every corner of Mzansi has something to discover.
Affordable Adventures for Everyone
Sho’t Left Travel Week is just the start. September also brings National Parks Week (09–15 September 2025), offering free entry to most national parks for South African ID holders. Together, these initiatives make it possible for more South Africans to explore more places, more often.
Extraordinary Encounters
From breaking bread with Cape Town’s artists in their studios, to taking a Mangaung culinary journey that tells history one bite at a time, Sho’t Left opens doors to experiences that go far beyond sightseeing. You can walk the iconic Vilakazi Street in Soweto, explore the vibrant rhythms of Langa township life, or stargaze in the Karoo under skies so clear they feel infinite. These are not just trips – they’re encounters with the living stories, cultures, and creativity that make South Africa extraordinary.
It’s Your Country. Enjoy It.
Bush, beach, or berg – South Africa has it all. Whether you’re planning a last-minute summer trip, hunting down stunning wedding venues, or enjoying off-season travel perks.
This September, book that trip, because travel isn’t just about seeing new places – it’s about reconnecting with the soul of our country.
It’s your country. Enjoy it. Because nothing’s more fun than a Sho’t Left.
