FAQ

Although South Africa is regarded a developing country, it has an excellent road network and is home to some of the best accommodation and restaurant options in the world. We have successfully hosted the Soccer World Cup, Rugby World Cup and Cricket World Cup tournaments, as well as many other international events. The Western Cape in particular is a world renowned tourist destination. Incidents of crime occur as they do anywhere in the world – and are often highly publicised – more than all the good the country has to offer. These unfortunate incidents are however mostly isolated to specific areas, or are the result of risky or irresponsible behaviour. Our tours do not visit so-called high risk areas and your local guide will always ensure your safety is our highest priority.
