We're kicking off 2017 with a focus on future holidays!

Aaand we're back! As we start making our way back to the offices, it is likely that the post-holidays blues has already reared its ugly head. Time to nip it in the bud and plan your next break!



In South Africa we’re truly blessed with a government that understands the value of a good long weekend. Make the public holidays work to your advantage and get maximum holiday out of your leave by planning in advance with our handy holiday guide. Below you'll find all the public holidays that give us a free weekday. That means that even if you only have a measly 15 days leave, you can still have a total of 37 days holiday! Bonus if you book far in advance, as you'll be able to take advantage of our great deals below...
