Travellers should be aware that South Africa is not the fluffiest of places to be. There is a very high level of crime, including murder and rape. However, the risk of visitors falling victim to violent crime in the main tourist destinations, such as Durban, is generally low. The protection of tourists is given high priority and tourism police can be found in many large towns.

Crime tends to increase when large groups of people are gathered together so be especially vigilant when attending sporting events or other large gatherings.

Vehicle hi-jacking and robbery are common, particularly after dark, so keep to main roads and only park in well lit areas. Be especially vigilant of your surroundings when in a stationary vehicle.

Should you find yourself if difficulty it’s possible to call the local police on 10111 or on 112 from a mobile phone.

Driving is allowed on a UK driving licence for up to 12 months and the standard of driving can vary considerably. Over taking can occur in any lane, including the hard shoulder, which can also be used by trucks and slower vehicles to allow those travelling faster to overtake. If you find yourself at a quiet intersection the first vehicle to arrive usually has priority and at roundabouts you should give way to the right. But this rule is not often followed. Most roads are pretty well maintained but those in remote areas often have pothole. Drive with caution, keep within the speed limits and don’t drive at night in unfamiliar rural areas.
