South Africa
When visiting South Africa, your enjoyment and well-being
will be of the utmost importance to us. We want your visit to be special and
we want you to leave us with great memories.
As in other countries, there are a few basic
precautions you should take in South Africa to ensure that your stay is as
pleasant and safe as possibe.
At the hotel:
- Never leave your luggage unattended.
- Store valuables in the hotel's safety deposit box.
- Keep your room locked, whether you're in it or
not.
- If someone knocks, check who it is before opening
the door.
- Hand the keys in at the desk whenever you leave
the hotel.
In the street:
- Avoid ostentatious displays of expensive jewellery,
cameras and other valuables.
- It is definitely not advisable to carry around
large sums of money.
- At night, steer clear of dark, isolated areas.
- It is always better to explore in groups and to
stick to well-lit, busy streets.
- Plan your route beforehand.
- A policeman or traffic officer will be glad to
direct you if you get lost.
- If you want to call a taxi, your hotel or the
nearest tourism information office will be able to recommend a reliable
service.
In your car:
- Plan your route in advance.
- Keep the car doors locked at all times and keep
the windows closed.
- Lock valuable items in the boot (trunk).
- At night, park in well-lit areas.
- Never pick up strangers.
- If in doubt about the safety of an area, phone a
police station for advice.
Emergency telephone numbers:
In the event of an emergency requiring
- the police,
- the ambulance service,
- the fire brigade, or
- the flying squad, or rescue services,
call South Africa's National Emergency Number:
10111.
