Safety:
The contrast between rich and poor is still huge in the nation that was torn apart during the Apartheid era. Racial differences still exist and because of poverty among mainly black and coloured communities, crime is relatively high in mostly the townships. No need to worry though, because we will make sure you will travel and stay in a relatively safe area. But like everywhere else in the world, we can’t give you 100% safety guarantee. The necessary precaution and alertness are recommended as always when travelling abroad. During our specific safety session we will make you aware of all the do’s and don’ts in South Africa.
