Upington on Sundays we were informed previously that everywhere was closed and therefore no food available if you were not self catering. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived there to find a vere busy small commercial area consisting of restaurants, take aways and a supermarket catering for everything and open until 20.00h even on Sunday.There is lots of parking, lots of accommodation, town was quiet otherwise, and there is the mighty orange river running through which is of interest to visitors. If you plan to stay longer there are some cultural interests in the town and any shopping needs can be found therein on weekdays. It is a very hot town in the Kalahari desert region but with unusual vegetation. There is the Orange river wine producing farms where you can taste and buy if you are so inclined!

Something called Ox Steakhouse, had tea 3pm and went back for dinner. Excellent. We struggled to get to a lookout place over the river. We will definitely get a map of the places worthwhile to visit.

The people in Upington is very friendly and the place is very tidy. The places where we ate was great and service was great. Every place that we visit was easily accessible. We will definitely recommend Upington to our friends and we will visit it again in future.

Upington is a very nice town along the Orange River. There are some great places to eat and stay. Ideally you should have your own transport, as there are not a lot of public transport options, except for taxis. Places that I can recommend includes the Orange River wine tasting cellars, Red Ox restaurant, the donkey monument, Sakkie se Arkie (great for river cruises / sunset cruises) and Bi-Lo restaurant. Another nice option for dining is Cafe Zest.

the accomadation was fantastic but we did the boat ride in the evening which was brill and spent a day at the falls which was awesome felt safe in upington and the parking was safe also enjoyed the pool and there is a good mall in the town

Very hot in January but I love summer so fine with that and our accommodation had aircon. Loads of restaurants and mall is good to visit. Visited the museum and ate at great restaurant called Red Ox situated on the Orange River. Food was phenomenal with large portions and the staff were great!
