Unfortunately I have to warn you. You will have to watch your personal belongings, for theft is very common down here. Unfortunately criminality is a big problem in South Africa and even more unfortunately criminality is NOT limited to theft. Rape is a very common problem too. So watch out, DO NOT walk alone during the nights and watch out during day. Do use taxis and stay in groups, and you will be rather sure. Use your common sense. We witnessed four incidents on our 19 days stay down in there. One Visa Card theft, two agressions to get money and one try to get a camera. The four incidents happened by day. So ... watch out ...and travel safely.

keeweechic Tue Sep 9, 2003 04:34 UTC Table Mountain has a lot to offer,, I think I'd take the lift:-) Robben Island is surely historic. Those baboons are sure cheeky. Good warnings and tips.	surf201 Wed Mar 5, 2003 03:31 UTC looks like wonderful place. i look forward to going.
