List of exempted nationalities includes: Saudi Arabia, Canada, Australia, UAE, Qatar, USA, UK, Tunisia, and Jordan. But we recommend that you double check with SA embassy at your country for official confirmation.

What is the water crisis situation in Cape town?

Cape Town is currently experiencing one of the worst scarcities it has seen in over 100 years, and while we want you to have the best time possible while there, here are some tips to help reduce your water usage:

– Bring a reusable water bottle, that you can fill with Cape Town’s tasty tap water.

– Reuse your towels in the hotel, for at least two days, before getting new ones.

– Keep your laundry until you have a full load to do, rather than just doing a handful of items.

– Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth, or shaving.

– Keep your showers to two minutes or less.

 

Should I bring cash or use my credit card in South Africa?

ATMs are widely increasing and available in major cities and town in South Africa. Credit cards are generally accepted in tourist shops and some restaurants. Visa and MasterCard are generally preferred over American Express, and Visa cards are more recognized over MasterCard. You should be aware that some venues charges extra 3-5% for purchases by cards. Smaller venues take cash only.

If you plan to rely on cash, please bring foreign currency (Euro, Pound, USD) while the easiest foreign currency to exchange for local currency is $US. However please note that mostly any US notes that are older than year 2006 are not accepted. Money exchange bureaus usually offer the best exchange rates.

Do I need any vaccination for South Africa?

No, there is no formal requirement for any shots for entry into South Africa, However a valid international certificate of vaccination against Yellow Fever is required in if you are arriving (or had a long transit) from a country with risk of yellow fever (eg. Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania). You may need to present this on arrival at the airport or border crossing.

Cape town is generally considered Malaria free city. Risk of malaria can increase during periods of heavy rain, during the rainy seasons. To prevent malaria, we recommend speaking to your doctor about taking preventative medication (prophylaxis), along with regular use of insect repellent spray/cream.

Is Cape town Safe?

Cape town is a touristic city that is generally safe. While many national governments provides a regularly updated advice on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government’s advice for their latest travel information before departure.

We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe-keeping of your passport, air tickets, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewellery at home – you won’t need it while travelling. Many of our hotels have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage.

Please use your own good judgment when selecting an activity in your free time. Although the cities visited on our trips are generally safe during the day, there can be risks to wandering throughout any major city at night. It is our recommendation to stay in small groups and to take taxis to and from restaurants, or during night time excursions.

What if I have a dietary requirement?

Most dietary and food allergies requirements can be organized provided you request them well in advance. However, some meals and activities that are fixed in advance and therefore cannot be modified to suit dietary requirements.
