Affordable Ways to Get to Your Next Summer Vacation with Sho't Left

Joburg Admin / December 20, 2022

It’s that time of the year again! The weather is warm, and we have over 40 blue flag beaches that await you. That’s right, Summer vibes and luckily you’re in Mzansi. With plenty of modes of transport available to take you to your next destination, here's how you can #TravelWiseMzansi.

Can you believe that it’s that time of the year? Summer is here and the end of the year is the perfect time to ditch the hustle and bustle and the mundane of everyday life to find some peace and explore more of what your own backyard has to offer. With our country's great road infrastructure and airline network, Mzansi is easy to navigate with both vehicles and flights to connect places. If you and your family would like to find more affordable and easier ways to travel to your favourite destination, while also enjoying the journey, we have a few options for you to #TravelWise:

Travel by Bus

As they say, local is lekker and you better believe it! South African's have the convenience and ease of taking a bus from any of our major cities through a reliable bus service that can take you anywhere in the country. Whether you prefer to travel at night and enjoy some peaceful sleep so that you are rested and ready to start your holiday, or perhaps you want to travel during the day to see the beauty of our country then making use of a bus service is the perfect mode of transport. Some of the well-known bus services are available throughout Mzansi and are bookable on-line:

Intercape

Greyhound

Eldo Coaches

Translux

Take a Daily Shuttle

Here's another way to #TravelWise! Did you know that some of the popular destinations in Mzansi offer scheduled daily shuttles at an affordable rate? This makes commuting and moving around for holiday purposes so convenient! An added bonus of the shuttle service is that you can share your trip with others – making it more convenient, more fun, and more affordable. For example, in KZN you can take a trip from King Shaka International Airport to the Wild Coast from as little as R270 through the Margate Coach!

Similar services are offered from the Gauteng province from destinations such as Pretoria, Sandton and O R Tambo International Airport. Guests can be transported to places such as Mpumalanga (White River and Nelspruit) which makes it easier to reach most the local attractions including the Panorama Route or the Kruger National Park through connecting taxis or local busses!

Commute With The Train

With Ablution Facilities, Catering and Sleeper Accommodation the Shosholoza Meyl is an ideal option for local travelers to reach their destination at a fraction of the price and the time taken driving your own vehicle. One can spend as little as R160 to travel from Makhado to Pretoria per person and still enjoy a bed rest with the company of friends or family. Not to mention the plenty of photo opportunities taken along the journey!

Don't Miss Out!

So, if you want to get out there and you’re looking for something packaged within your budget, unga’ worry, Sho’t Left offers a variety of summer deals to suit your pocket with a variety of transport options! Decide what kind of vibe you’re going for, think about whether you want to party up a storm, relax, sightsee or even have a relaxing staycation, and make that booking! Make sure you book early to avoid disappointment. After all, it’s your country, enjoy it.

Because nothing’s more fun than a Sho’t Left. Remember to always #TravelWiseMzansi!
