Upington is one of the Northern Cape’s largest towns and welcomes you to life in the semi-desert of the Kalahari along the Namaqua Route, bordering the Orange River.
It's an ideal winter holiday resort with all the modern conveniences on the major routes to Namibia and Kalahari, Augrabies National Park, Fish River Canyon, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and Northern Cape.
The town also offers many activities, including 4x4 adventures to the Spitskop Nature Reserve, which is stocked with gemsbok, springbok, ostrich, eland, hartebeest and mountain zebra.
An archetypal frontier town, Upington simmers and swelters in 40-degree Celsius temperatures during summer.
