About
The official Sho’t Left Travel Week 2026 is locked in to run from 7 to 13 September 2026. Known as "The Great South African Sale," this annual South African Tourism initiative encourages locals to explore the country by offering massive discounts of up to 50% off on local flights, accommodation, and day activities.
Key Details About the Sale
Book Now, Travel Later: You do not have to travel during that exact week in September. You just buy the heavily discounted vouchers or bookings between 7–13 September, and you can redeem them at later dates depending on each partner's terms.
Types of Deals: Discounts cover everything from coastal beach stays and bush safari lodges to mountain getaways, cultural day tours, and domestic airline tickets.
Where to Find Deals: All official promotional packages are hosted directly on the Sho’t Left Website.
