Tourists both local and overseas come to enjoy sunshine, friendly people, the unique tribal life of San and Nama Bushmen around Upington, the marvel of the mighty Orange river, wine tours and canoeing down the Orange river.
Situated on the banks of the Orange River, Upington is surrounded by bright green vineyards. The Orange River Wine Cellar is the largest wine co-operative in South Africa. For all wine connoisseurs, spend the day at Orange River Wine Cellars. You could do a wine tasting in town at a co-op of five different wine cellars.

Spitskop Nature Reserve, just outside Upington, provides a perfect destination for a day's outing, picnicking, game drives or even doing the hiking trails in the reserve. Another attraction is Kalahari Oranje Museum; it offers an insight into the history of the rather hardy folks who have made this town their home over the last couple of hundred years.
Upington boasts many beautifully landscaped gardens, rose beds and large graceful trees all situated in a genuine atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
The Raisin festival in Upington is a great fun for all. It offers a colorful parade of floats, beauty competitions, craft building competitions, potjiekos, pancakes and plenty of fun for family and visitors.
