  • Well people hear all these bad stories of how high the crime rate is in South Africa. Yes I`m not gonna say its the safest place on earth but there is crime like crime in all big cities here in South Africa.

    In Johannesburg I can honestly say the city centre is not very safe , places like Hilbrow you definitely keep out of. Most places in general around Johannesburg seems to be ok.

    As for Cape Town , I always felt safe around there well accept for wondering around in the Cape Flats.... As a tourist I don`t think you`ll wonder around there so you`ll be ok.

    Durban city centre gave me a bit of the creeps , I rather prefered to go to places away from the City itself. Either Go to the North Coast or go to the South Coast.

    Here is more links to more warnings in Johannesburg , Cape Town , Durban , Hartbeespoort Dam and Sun City

     Your pictures are gorgeous--the Northern Province and the countryside along the Garden route were especially nice!
