Top 5 FREE Holiday Travel apps<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Packpoint\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This genius travel app tells you what you should be packing based on the weather at your destination, length of stay and activities. You can also share the list with friends and family members who need help packing. Plus it saves your lists so you can use them next time you\u2019re going away. If you only download one of these travel apps, make it this one!<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Netcare Assist<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      You never know when you might need first aid skills \u2014 and if you\u2019re on holiday you might not know what to do or where to get help. We recommend the Netcare Assist App for using in South Africa. The app helps you call a doctor or ambulance and find the nearest Netcare hospital. It\u2019s also got basic info about what to do in various emergency situations.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. TripAdvisor<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        It\u2019s always difficult to choose where to eat out when you\u2019re away from home. The TripAdvisor apps give you easy access to the best-rated restaurants in your area. The information is usually current, most South African restaurants are listed (even in the most remote areas) and you can check out what other people had to say about eateries near you before deciding where to go.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Guides by Lonely Planet\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Lonely Planet is the ultimate resource for detailed info about holiday destinations, and their app is no different. Get activity suggestions, maps, sightseeing info and travel tips all in one spot. It doesn\u2019t cover every city in the world, but more are being added all the time.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Road Trip RSA<\/a> <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            This app boosts South African tourism by letting you know what’s available where you are, including great venues, bed and breakfasts, restaurants, handicraft shops and stalls, and all kinds of things to see, do, eat and more\u2026 all on the road less travelled. If you’re looking for an “off-the-beaten-track” South African experience then this app is for you.<\/p>\n
