Bid on a travel getaway

Fancy a getaway at a great price? We’ve just discovered Bid On Travel, where you can bid on special deals that are up for auction.

How does it work? Easy. It’s all on Facebook, it’s free, and registration is required to bid … you only give your details once your bid is declared the winner.

The auction lots up for grabs are packages that change each week, depending on what’s available at different lodges. So it could be a two night stay for two people on a bed and breakfast basis, or a four night, fully inclusive experience in a five star property.

It all happens on  facebook.com/bidontravel/ every Monday and Friday, from around 8.30 to 9am. Plus … bonus for those who miss out, there’s a haggle button on bidontravel.co.za, where you can find the package and haggle for a better deal.

Here’s one of the packages on auction this week:

Makalali Private Game Reserve is located west of the Kruger National Park to offer guests an ethnic-style retreat within 26 000 hectares of bushveld in the North-eastern Lowveld. Look forward to spotting the Big 5 (buffalo, elephant, lion, leopard and rhino), as well as cheetah, wild dog, giraffe, zebra and kudu.

Enjoy 2 nights in a thatched River Lodge suite for 2 valued at R14,520, including all meals as well as morning and afternoon game drives, VAT. All you have to worry about are your beverages, gratuities, getting to and from the lodge, conservation levies and gate entry fees. This stay is valid until 31 August 2022 subject to availability. 

Sound fab? Head over to the Bid On Travel Facebook page and comment with your bid. This auction lot is subject to a reserve and if it’s not reached, the lot will not be sold. Auction ends at 8pm. Remember to only bid if you are able to make full payment of your bid within 24 hours from end of auction.
