How to Holiday on a Tight Budget with Mid-Week Getaway Specials
Are You Planning a Holiday on a Shoestring? Look Out for Mid-Week Getaway Specials to enjoy magnificent views in Durban or heated swimming pools in Cape Town. Mid-week time periods often come with special rates!
If you are a pensioner or able to take a mid-week break, chances are you can save on your next getaway. Keep an eye out for special deals on seaside holidays during winter and autumn. Off-season bookings on cheap flights or hotel stay packages are also smart ways to save a few bucks.
You don’t need a travel agent to book your stay. Keep a lookout for special deals throughout South Africa this winter. Pack well and remember to pack the repellent and sunblock even if it’s winter. You can still get sunburn, and mosquitoes can still make outdoor fun miserable.
Appealing Budget Getaways in South Africa
There’s no need to stay at home. Stretch your budget. The best rates on offer are usually during the winter months in South Africa. And mid-week!
- Some getaways on a budget include 4 and 5 star properties in beautiful spots. They also offer comfortable and elegant accommodation, set in South Africa’s choice spots.
- Keep an eye out for South African hotel specials. Bed & Breakfast stays and guest houses are all options.
- Last-minute deals and special packages will put money back in your pocket.
- Keep your eyes open for seniors’ deals if you are 60 and older. A good example is you can save as much as 45% at the Kagga Kamma mid week. Even during the high season! The deals stretch through September to April! Depending on the package, seniors can enjoy various perks. These include nature drives, late night nature drives, and rock art tours.
The Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve is in the Cederberg, far from the city lights. The Karoo-like landscape boasts Khoi and San art. Visitors will enjoy prolific indigenous fauna and flora and unusual rock formations.
- Get a holiday experience by booking popular destinations out of season. Book cheap flights when they are on sale. Domestic flights need not cost a fortune. Look for deals and special offers to get a better price.
8 Reasons You Should Book Your Getaway Mid-Week
1. Take Advantage of Fewer Crowds
Where is everyone else while you are enjoying your midweek break? Everyone else is waiting for the weekend to take their break.
Take advantage of this clever idea. Enjoy the quiet without the crowds. Hotels and game lodges are also less crowded mid-week.
Restaurants and stores are far quieter during off season times. Fewer crowds are a far safer option, too. This is especially during the lingering pandemic.
2. Enjoy Mid-Week Events & Activities
Events still take place midweek. Concerts, visiting places of interest, and the movies. These events often enjoy lower costs during the week.
Mid-week shows are usually far less expensive than weekend. Attendance is lower during the week, too. This is a safer option during COVID-19. Shorter queues, lower costs, and a safer environment during the week give one peace of mind.
3. Less Crowded Beaches and Quieter Game Lodge Experiences
Hit the beach and game parks during the week or off-season. This gives you a quiet holiday experience. If crowded beaches are not your thing, then off-season is.
Save money and book last-minute game lodge deals. The global pandemic has affected bookings for the Kruger National Park. They have announced special deals and continue to run incredible specials for South Africa’s residents.
4. Enjoy Better Restaurant Service and a Good Deal at Eateries
Enjoy eating out at South Africa’s top eateries with mid-week breakaways. No queues, better service, and lower costs in a quieter atmosphere are just a few benefits you can enjoy alongside wine with dinner. When you visit eateries during off peak periods, staff are under less pressure and can pay more careful attention to your needs.
Remember the Mozzie Patches no Matter When You Go
Getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city on a shoestring is a great idea. Be sure to pack your mosquito repellent to make the most of your break. Outdoor living is what South Africans do well. Eating and “braaiing” under the stars is a South African institution. Pack smart and avoid the buzz and bite.
