This September, during the Heritage Day Long Weekend (24th to 27th,) South Africa is getting its first National Instameet where Igers from all around the country will journey to a common location and meet up in the beautiful Klein Karoo: the lovely town of Graaff-Reinet!
Hosted by @southafrica and South African Tourism, the inaugural event has already secured over 400 Instagrammers from all around SA. And as keen Instagrammers ourselves we’re amped to be able to attend too! The event is open to E V E R Y O N E so if you’re interested please don’t hesitate to get on board – we can already feel that this is going to be the start of something very special.
There’s an epic program lined up and we’ll be enjoying photo-walks, bonfires, sunset / sunrise escapades as well as the best the Karoo has to offer – such as some of our finest national parks, culinary delights and all round awesomeness.
We are road tripping up from Cape Town with a rental car from Around about Cars and will be meandering up slowly, taking in some of South Africa’s spectacular inland beauty along the way.

In celebration of Spring (and SA’s first Instameet,) Around About Cars have decided to offer a nationwide R100 discount on all car rentals between September and November 2015 for anyone who likes their Facebook page and uses the Spring Discount code below (details on image.)

It’s such a great initiative to get all the SA instagrammers together (well, maybe not all, but a lot). We’ll be present as well, so see you in Graaff Reinet 🙂
Looking forward to seeing you there Sabine!
Cool event! I wish something like this happens in KL.
I think this would go down REALLY well in Malaysia!
I bet it will. There are so many instagram junkies here especially the teenagers up to the young professionals.
