Vehicles and driving in Upington

Upington sits on the Orange River at the edge of the Kalahari and is one of the hottest towns in South Africa during summer. Extreme heat is the biggest enemy of car batteries, and many drivers here find they need to replace them far sooner than in cooler regions. The irrigated vineyards along the river produce table grapes, raisins and wine, keeping farm bakkies and trucks busy through harvest. The N10 and N14 connect the town to Namibia, Gauteng and Springbok, bringing long-haul trucks. Tourists heading to Augrabies and the Kgalagadi in 4x4s with fridges and dual batteries also pass through regularly.
