Q: Is tap water safe to drink in South Africa?

In major cities like Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban, tap water is generally safe to drink. However, in rural areas or small towns, it's best to stick to bottled or filtered water to avoid any stomach issues.

Q: What is the best way to get around South Africa?

Renting a car is often the best and most flexible way to explore South Africa, especially for popular routes like the Garden Route. Public transport is limited outside large cities, so plan accordingly.

Q: What should I wear to stay safe from the sun?

South Africa has a strong sun, especially in summer. Wear lightweight clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and apply high SPF sunscreen regularly, even on cloudy days.

Q: Are there any safety tips for tourists in South Africa?

Avoid walking alone at night, especially in city centers. Keep valuables hidden, use rideshare apps or registered taxis, and ask locals or hotel staff about safe areas to visit.

Q: Can you tip in restaurants and taxis?

Tipping is customary in South Africa. In restaurants, a 10-15% tip is expected if service isn’t already included. Taxi drivers, petrol attendants, and hotel staff are also usually tipped a small amount.

Logistics

Most international travelers reach South Africa by air, with Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban offering well-connected airports. There are many affordable flights from major cities in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, making flying the fastest and most practical option for solo travelers on a moderate budget.

Overland, buses link South Africa to neighboring countries like Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique. Trains exist but are less commonly used by visitors due to limited cross-border routes. Cruises occasionally dock in Cape Town, but this is a pricier and slower choice.

From April 1 to April 15, South Africa enjoys pleasant autumn weather, so flights and road travel are usually smooth. Always check visa requirements before booking, and consider safety tips for solo adventures.

Weather

South Africa has a varied climate, ranging from Mediterranean in the southwest around Cape Town, to subtropical in the northeast, and semi-arid in the interior. Summers (November to March) are generally warm to hot, with afternoon thunderstorms common in the highveld and northern regions, while winters (May to August) are mild and dry, especially inland.

From April 1 to April 15, autumn is settling in. Expect milder temperatures, cooler evenings, and less rainfall, making it ideal for outdoor adventures, exploring arts and culture, or enjoying nightlife and entertainment in cities like Cape Town and Johannesburg. Extreme weather events are rare during this period, though occasional cold fronts in the southwest may bring brief rain and wind.

Food & Drink

South African cuisine blends flavors from many cultures. Try local favorites like braai (barbecue), bobotie (spiced meat casserole), and biltong (cured meat). Rooibos tea and Umqombothi (traditional beer) are must-try drinks. Vegetarian and vegan options are increasingly available, especially in cities.

For an authentic and budget-friendly experience, visit places like the Neighbourgoods Market (Johannesburg), Eastern Food Bazaar (Cape Town), and Mzoli’s for township-style braai. Popular cafes and bars include Truth Coffee (Cape Town) and The Leopard Bar (Camps Bay) for great atmosphere and views.

Tipping around 10–15% is customary in restaurants. While seasonal produce and seafood are excellent, be cautious about drinking tap water outside major cities—opt for bottled water when in doubt.

Accommodation

For stunning scenery and city life, stay in Cape Town’s neighborhoods like Camps Bay or the City Bowl, where villas and serviced apartments are popular—browse Hotels.com for great deals. Johannesburg’s Rosebank and Sandton offer modern apartments, ideal for solo travelers who want lively cafes and shopping close by.

Along the Garden Route, consider Knysna or Plettenberg Bay, where cozy villas and houses provide a homely feel. Booking in advance from April 1–15 is wise, as local school holidays can make accommodation busier and pricier. Hostels and guesthouses, also easy to find on Hotels.com, offer sociable, budget-friendly options.
