Unlimited plans run at full speed up to a daily fair-use allowance, then at reduced speed until the allowance resets the next day — you're never cut off. Every plan is prepaid: the checkout total is the whole bill, and we never add overage charges.
Hotspot support varies by plan and destination — where it's available for your plan in South Africa, it's shown in the plan details before you pay.
The South Africa eSIM guide.
South Africa is a self-drive country — Garden Route road trips, Cape Winelands day tours, long transfers to Kruger. City coverage in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban is genuinely strong, so an eSIM keeps navigation, safari bookings, restaurant finds and video calls home running from the moment you land.
How it works on the day
Install and activate your eSIM over hotel Wi-Fi before you fly, then switch it on at OR Tambo, Cape Town or King Shaka airport. It connects to Vodacom or MTN automatically — no SIM kiosks, no passport paperwork.
Choosing your days
Most holidays run 7 to 14 days across Cape Town, the Winelands and a safari leg — choose a data bundle that covers the whole stretch. Longer overlanders and Garden Route trips suit larger or top-up-friendly plans.
Discover South Africa.
The short version.
A travel eSIM is data only. It sits next to your home SIM, so your number, texts and WhatsApp carry on as normal. Pick unlimited, priced per day, or a fixed bundle of GB if it's mostly maps and messages. Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly — the days only start once it first connects in South Africa, and it finds a partner network on its own.
