  • One huge problem in South Africa is the constant begging. They are everywhere you go, especially at traffic lights.

    Most people drive with their window up, especially at night, as some of the people begging get quite cloooooose...

    Just be straight with them, say 'I cannot help you, sorry', try not to enter into conversation with them, as they are the most amazing story tellers!

    Plse dont get me wrong, there are legitimate beggars out there, with a genuine need.

    But most beggars are begging out of choice, they want no responsibility, are alcoholics and often drug addicts too.

    There are shelters and churches and charities throughout South Africa that take them in, so they need not beg.

  • Get a local's perspective - ask someone where you're staying to give you a run-down on any potentially unsafe areas.

    As with anywhere in the world, when you're in a city, err on the side of caution.

    Don't openly carry valuables, avoid deserted areas, avoid areas not lit, do not hitch hike, and just be aware of what's going on around you at all times.

    Keep alert.

    But this doesnt mean you cannot have fun! You will ! :)
