Safety in South Africa When exploring any new destination, please be mindful of the fact that opportunistic crime is an unfortunate reality.
If you are fortunate enough to be able to enjoy one of South Arica’s many hikes, it is best to do so with a guide. Be sure to take enough water with you as well as warm clothing – the higher you go, the more unreliable the weather becomes! |
