Of course, you must have your passport in force before traveling to South Africa, a document that must meet these two requirements: It must have an expiration date of at least 30 days after the date of departure from the country and have 2 blank pages.
Malaria treatment is recommended if you are going to visit high-risk areas in the northeast of the country, such as the Kruger Park. In the big cities there is no risk of being bitten by the mosquito that transmits the disease.
Being located in the southern hemisphere, the seasons in South Africa are the opposite of those in Europe. Winter in South Africa, which runs from June to September, is dry and not too cold. This is the best time to enjoy the wildlife. The vegetation is less lush and the animals concentrate on the rivers to drink. In addition, the southern whale begins to reach the coast. It is also a good season for outdoor activities and sports.
The South African spring is from September to November. Temperatures rise during the day. It is a season that allows us to see beautiful landscapes full of flowers, such as those of the West Coast National Park, about 90 kilometers from Cape Town.
How much does it cost to go to South Africa
(2 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)Loading… Is it possible to travel alone in South Africa, on your own and without a car? Yes, of course! This African country is highly prepared for tourists and it is possible to take organized tours as you like and do any kind of activities you can think of. The problem is to be able to stop! There is so much on offer that you will not stop wanting to try everything!
Although three weeks may seem like a long time, South Africa is quite a big country so I decided to focus on a few places to be able to enjoy in a relaxed way and do all the activities they could offer me with time.
Regarding food, as I mentioned, as there is western food almost everywhere, many days, to save money and eat a little “healthier”, I shopped at the supermarket (this way, I had breakfast and dinner at home).
As always, my motto is: NO Spending PENURIES AND NO SPENDING! and, in this case, I tried to control my budget a little more than usual to be able to invest my budget mainly in activities.
South Africa is expensive
We narrated this trip in its entirety both Jairo and I in Instagram Stories. I explained the headaches of its preparation, but, above all, day by day more than 6,000 people saw our adventures and misadventures in a trip that went from less to more. So much less that I had no confidence that I would like it, that I was really afraid of the news I had read, and so much more that I ended up crying my eyes out as the plane took off.
To tell the truth, when I thought about traveling to South Africa on my own, I was quite scared. The crime rates are shocking and it is well known that sensationalist news are the ones that appear the most in the media. However, after having returned from this trip, I can say that the fear I had was quite unjustified.
We were also walking around the more touristy area of the Soweto neighborhood in Johannesburg (the one around Mandela’s house and the Orlando Towers) and I noticed an atmosphere more festive than dangerous.
