Why go

A small amount of planning can change a day materially. South African city visits may involve long transfers between sites, and isolated night walks and visible valuables in cars warrant particular care. Use current local advice for the neighbourhood and route you actually plan.

Useful to know

  • Arrange a reliable ride for an evening return instead of depending on a walk through an unfamiliar area.
  • Keep bags and valuables out of sight in a parked or moving car.
  • For a township visit, arrange a specific local contact or experienced guide and confirm the route in advance.
