About Christmas Day (25 December 2024)

Christmas Day is celebrated in South Africa as in most countries around the globe.

Many South African families uphold European traditions, even though we are in Africa. These include displaying Christmas decorations and trees in houses and shopping centres, exchanging gifts and cards and Father Christmas (Santa Claus) comes to visit.

A Christmas lunch is a tradition for South African families more so than dinner.

Getaways over public holidays and during nationwide events are in high demand, so accommodation often books up quickly for these periods, and often long in advance. Please be sure to secure your accommodation well in advance if you are travelling when one of these takes place.
