- Happiness is not having to set the alarm for the next day!
In 2026 South Africa enjoys several long weekends. Key ones include the Easter long weekend (3-6 April), Freedom Day weekend (27 April into a long weekend if adjacent to a weekend), Youth Day (16 June) and Heritage Day (24 September).
Always check the official calendar as dates shift annually. Kanon Private Nature Reserve fills fast over these periods, so early booking is strongly recommended. View our reservations page to find out what’s available during which public holiday’s.
