South Africa Travel Guide: Accommodation Necessities

South Africa's law and order is not so good, and there is a big gap between the rich and the poor. It is a country without the death penalty. Although South Africa has always attracted many people, I suggest that you should pay attention to protect yourself when you travel to South Africa. Let's take a look at the tourist accommodation and precautions in South Africa.

Accommodation recommendation

Cape Town

As an international shipping port, Cape Town has excellent accommodation conditions, including high-end hotels, chain youth hostels and various homestays. More importantly, the public security in this city is also very good.

Johannesburg

Johannesburg is the largest city and economic center in South Africa, and its mining industry is extremely developed because there are dozens of gold mines around it. However, it should be noted that the security in Johannesburg is relatively poor in South Africa, so it is best to book a hotel within 2-3 minutes' walk to the place you want to go. And it is best to choose a hotel in a prosperous area, with good public security and complete facilities around it.

recommended hotel: Sadton Maslow Hotel

Recommended reason: this hotel is located in the central business district of Johannesburg. Shopping is very convenient. Nelson Mandela Square and Thornton Shopping Center are only 1 minutes' walk. In addition, the hotel itself also provides a shuttle bus to the shopping center, which is very suitable for the beginning and end of the trip. It is convenient and quick to go back to the nearest hotel to pack after purchase.

Cape augustus

Cape Galle is the real dividing line between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean (not the Cape of Good Hope). This is a place to punch in, and it must be among the best in South Africa. Its scenery is worthy of the name here. But after all, the location here is partial, and the hotels are all similar to the chain of express hotels. Don't ask too many questions.

recommended hotel: Agujas Highland

Recommended reason: Yes, it's as simple as that. This hotel is only 75 meters away from the park gate in Cape Gales and less than 2 kilometers away from the southernmost tip of Africa. Of course, accommodation and meals are of the same level.

recommended hotel: Circa Apartment Hotel

Recommended reason: this is a hotel with excellent geographical location and friendly facilities, only 5 minutes' walk from Long Street. The room is very large and comfortable. As the first stop, it is very suitable for jet lag. The kitchen facilities are also complete. It is a good place for friends who miss home cooking to show their skills.

what to wear in south Africa

the climate in south Africa is warm and peaceful, with plenty of sunshine and relatively warm winter. I went at the end of January, which was the summer in South Africa. The temperature is about 2-35 degrees, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. It's windy in Cape Town, so I can take a thin coat and a thick coat.

slippers, sunglasses and sun protection caps are indispensable. Because of the special sun, it is best to have a sunscreen suit. Other clothes can bring summer clothes. I'm afraid of the sun, so I wear more pants and long clothes.

If you go to a safari park, try to wear neutral clothes, that is, not too bright, which will easily scare animals or cause them to attack.

Essentials

Drugs

Anti-mosquito drugs (there were not many mosquitoes at the end of January), carsickness drugs, cold drugs (I caught a cold because of the strong wind and large temperature difference), diarrhea drugs, band-AIDS, heatstroke prevention and cooling drugs, in short, some conventional drugs.

sun resistance

before traveling, I heard that sun protection is very important. After I went, I found that I couldn't bring too many sunscreen tools. It's too sunny! Super sunshine! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! This is too important. You can also bring a parasol! Better have a big hat!

cosmetics

I usually take a set of my own, small package, and throw it away when I use it. In addition, the hydrating mask is also very useful. It's comfortable to make a mask after a day's sun exposure.

Tips for South Africa

About transportation

South Africa's public transportation is underdeveloped, and many scenic spots cannot be reached by public transportation. Without a car, it may be difficult to walk, and public transportation is almost the bottom of society. It is not recommended to choose public transportation as a means of transportation to visit South Africa. Taxis are expensive and inconvenient, so you need to make an appointment by phone. Drivers are often unpunctual.

About the language

The races in South Africa are diverse and complex. Besides English, there are more than a dozen languages, such as African and Zulu. If English is good

There is a big gap between the rich and the poor in South Africa, and social security is not so good. China people are the main targets of criminal attacks. Of course, whether traveling alone or in a group tour,

Note:

1. Brush more credit cards, pay less cash, don't show off your wealth, don't show off your wealth.

2. It is necessary for you to seek official help and bring your certificate, passport and other valid documents.

3. Remember the emergency telephone numbers of China Embassy and local police station, and please contact them if you have any difficulties.

4. Don't be curious about going alone or playing in the dark area. Don't go out alone at night.

are you in a group?

When traveling to South Africa, air tickets are the biggest expense. Travel agencies generally buy tickets in bulk with airlines and enjoy team preferential policies, which is much cheaper than booking their own air tickets. Moreover, travel agencies also enjoy preferential prices in terms of room dining tickets. In addition, at present, in order to attract tourists from China, the South African Tourism Bureau has given several travel agencies, including Singapore International Travel Service, a solicitation subsidy, and the tour fee is very cost-effective.

in view of the above points, it is suggested to find a more formal travel agency. On the one hand, travel agencies are familiar with the local environment and the routes can be arranged as a whole. On the other hand, travel agencies are experienced and will tell you some necessary precautions and strictly implement them. Of course, if you don't want to join the group and feel that it is inconvenient to travel freely, South Africa has customized tours to choose from.
