South Africa Travel Guide Accommodation+Necessities+Precautions

South Africa is a country with poor public security, a big gap between the rich and the poor, and no 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, youth travel chains 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. Because there are dozens of gold mines around, the mining industry here is also extremely developed. However, it should be noted that the public security in Johannesburg is relatively poor in South Africa, so it is best to book a hotel within 20-30 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: TheMaslowHotel, Sadton

Highlight: This hotel is located in the central business district of Johannesburg, which is very convenient for shopping. It takes only 10 minutes to walk from nelson mandela Square and Thornton Shopping Center. In addition, the hotel itself also provides a shuttle bus to the shopping center, which is very suitable for the whole journey. After purchasing, go back to the hotel and pack it nearby, which is convenient and quick.

Augustus pt.

Cape Gales is the real dividing line between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean (not the Cape of Good Hope). It is the top punching place in South Africa, and its scenery is worthy of the name. But here, after all, the location is relatively partial, and the hotels are all similar chain-like express hotels. Don't ask too many questions.

Recommended hotel: AgulhasHeights

Recommended reason: recently, yes, it is such a simple reason. This hotel is only 750 meters from the park gate in Cape Aguilar and less than 2 kilometers from the southernmost tip of Africa. Of course, accommodation and diet are also horizontal.

Recommended hotel: CircaLuxuryApartmentHotel

Highlight: This is a hotel with excellent location and friendly facilities, only 5 minutes' walk from Long Street. The room is very large and comfortable, which is very suitable for jet lag as the first stop, midway repair and finally cleaning. The kitchen facilities are also complete, which is a good place for friends who miss their hometown dishes to show their skills.

The climate in South Africa is warm and peaceful, with plenty of sunshine and relatively warm winter. I went at 65438+1the end of October, which is the summer in South Africa. The temperature is about 20-35 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 exposure, it is best to have sunscreen clothes, and other clothes can bring summer clothes. I'm afraid of the sun exposure, so I wear more pants and long clothes.

Note that if you go to a safari park, try to wear neutral clothes, that is, not too bright and easy to scare animals or cause animal attacks.

essential medicine

Mosquito repellent (1 There are not many mosquitoes at the end), motion sickness medicine, cold medicine (I caught a cold because of the heavy wind and temperature difference), diarrhea medicine, band-aid, heatstroke prevention and cooling medicine, in short, some conventional medicines can be used.

Sunlight resistance

I heard that sun protection is very important before going out. After I went, I found that I couldn't bring too many sunscreen tools. The sun is out! The sunshine is super abundant! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! This is too important. You can also use an umbrella! Better have a big hat!

cosmetics

I usually take my own small package when I travel, and throw it away when I use it. In addition, it is quite useful to bring some hydrating mask. It is very comfortable to make a mask on your face after a day of sun exposure.

South Africa traffic tips

South Africa's public transportation is underdeveloped, and many scenic spots cannot be reached by public transportation. Without a car, there may be a feeling of being unable to move. Taking public transportation is almost the bottom of society. It is not recommended to choose public transport as a means of transportation to visit South Africa. Taxis are also expensive, and it is inconvenient to take a taxi. You need to make an appointment by phone, and drivers are often not on time.

About language

South Africa is diverse and complex. Besides English, there are more than a dozen languages such as African and Zulu. If your English is not good, you will really become a knowledgeable person. There will be a tour guide to provide services, and the language barrier will be minimized.

About public safety

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

note:

1, more credit cards, less cash, no ostentation, no wealth, no wealth.

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

3. Remember the emergency telephone numbers of China Embassy and local police station, and contact them in time in case of difficulties.

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

Traveling to South Africa, air tickets are the biggest expense. Travel agencies usually buy tickets in bulk with airlines and enjoy preferential policies for the team, which is much cheaper than booking their own 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 subsidized several travel agencies, including Singapore International Travel Service, and the tour fee is very cost-effective.

In view of the above points, it is recommended to find a more formal travel agency. On the one hand, travel agencies are familiar with the local environment and can make overall arrangements for routes. 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.
