Towing in Upington: local notes
Upington tow operators cover huge areas, from the N14 to Kakamas and Springbok to the N10 to Groblershoop. Flatbeds are the safe choice for tourist cars and 4x4s that need to come in from the gravel roads to the Kgalagadi or Augrabies. Trucks and buses on the N14 need heavy recovery. Ask for a price per kilometre and confirm the distance first, because many tows here are very long.
Upington on the road
Upington is on the Orange River in the Kalahari, and long distances define towing here. The N10 runs to Groblershoop and the N14 links Upington with Kuruman, Springbok and the Namibian border, and towns are far apart. Trucks, tour vehicles, farm bakkies and travellers heading to the Kgalagadi or Augrabies break down far from help. Summer heat is extreme, with hot tar and soft sand on gravel roads, while winter brings cold nights. Grape and raisin farmers along the river, solar plant contractors, tourists with caravans and 4x4 trailers, and transport firms ask for tows, recovery, car transport and towing equipment here.
