TRAVEL SAFETY

As with travel to any foreign country, visitors to South Africa should remain alert and take sensible precautions. Be mindful of common crimes such as petty theft and robbery, particularly in urban areas. Always lock your car, avoid walking alone at night, and do not display cash or valuables.

Use secure and reputable transport options such as Uber, the Gautrain, or certified tour operators. Stay aware of your surroundings, avoid remote or poorly lit areas, and remain cautious of scams.
