Getting Around South Africa
South Africa covers an area of 1 221 037 square kilometres, so getting around a country this size should be a challenge - but alas it is not.
Fly, drive, motorbike or get driven, those are just a few of the numerous choices one has when travelling around this amazing country.
The below options of getting between destinations are by far and away the most popular that our clientele asks for. Flying is the most popular choice as one gets to spend more time at any given destination. Self-driving between destinations comes in a close second as one gets to experience the South Africa countryside and her people. At the end of the day, it always boils down to what you like when travelling.
Of interest, South Africa ranks No. 10 in the World for the length of her road network - 747 014 km's of roads are on offer for you town explore (if of course, you have the time).

Hiring a vehicle of any shape or description is as easy as 1,2,3. From a cheap to a luxury Mercedes-Benz, from a small run around to a long distance 4x4 or camper van. We at Uyaphi.com have all the right options for you across numerous companies, brands and vehicle types.
- Internal Flights
Whether you are trying to North to South or East to West across this stunning country there is always a flight going in that general direction. Want to go from Cape Town to the Kruger Park or Port Elizabeth to the Madikwe, well that is easy all you have to do is contact us.
- Private Charter Flights
Not keen on catching a flight with hoards of other people, simply keen on a bit of privacy or looking at a destination that is just that little bit too far to drive? Fear not, we have the suppliers who by hook or crook with take you were ever you want to go.
- Private Guides
Hiring a private guide for one's safari is becoming more and more popular as time goes by. A private guide will drive or accompany you for a portion or the entire time whilst in the country all the while offering up historic information and scenic wonders that surround.
- Schedule Safaris
We currently work with approximately 35 safari companies all across the country that cater to everyone's tastes and budgets. These companies run scheduled safari packages ranging from the more budget orientated overland offerings to the creme de la creme in terms of luxury lodging and pricing.
- Private Safaris
A scheduled safari or tour not starting on the dates you have available or you are travelling in a small group? Then why not look at a private safari, the price might not be as high as you think it might be. These safaris are ideal for small groups of families or simply those who like privacy.
- Train Safaris
This is something that we strongly feel that all visitors to South Africa need to partake in, a luxury rail safari. Having down a few times ourselves we can highly recommend a train safari as part and parcel of any trip to this country. Go old school, you will not regret it at all.
- Motorbike Rentals
Motorbike rentals and tours are very popular in South Africa, especially in the summer months. Whether you hire one for a self-drive tour of the entire country or simply hire one when in Cape Town for a few days, the choice is yours. BMW, Honda and Harley-Davidson are most popular.
