Warnings Or Dangers: Muggings
  • Tip Rating:
  • Be very careful, a tourist stands out a mile in South Africa and that makes us easy targets. Always have eyes in the back of your head, you will learn this quickly, do not wear or carry valuables, resist throwing a rucksak over your shoulder, keep to the guidlines given. Stay on the clearly marked routes. Do not wander around the streets, particularly of a night, it is asking for trouble

    Warnings Or Dangers: Entrepreneurial
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Be aware you will be charged in store car parks by a guard to look after your car, also in other areas too, it's best to cough up most of the time to ensure your property is not damaged.

    Another thing is when leaving your car you may come back to find it in pristinely clean even if you have not asked for it to be washed, the locals are looking to earn a crust, its life in Africa.

     Thanks Donna I enjoyed revisiting your pages. When I read your "dangers" tip I think I must have been very lucky as I have been driven by friends for thousand of kilometers in SA without incident.
