There are many matters and problems that need to be paid attention to when traveling to South Africa. Below, China Zhongxin Travel Bian Xiao has sorted out some matters needing attention and safety issues of South African travel for you, hoping to help you.

South Africa and the United States, a country located in the south of Africa, are called "countries of rainbows". Safety is the most important issue when traveling here. Public security is poor, so we must pay special attention to it.

South Africa's tourism precautions and safety issues are summarized as follows:

1. Passports, visas, air tickets and other valuables should be carried with you, and must not be forgotten in tourist buses, restaurants and hotel rooms.

2. The visas handled by travel agencies are all tourist visas. According to the relevant regulations, you are not allowed to leave the group in any form during your overseas stay. Breaking up illegally, leaving illegally and staying illegally are all illegal. Once tour guides and travel agencies find the above behaviors, they will take measures such as accusation and alarm. Please be sure to abide by this rule.

When traveling, tourists should do as the Romans do, be tolerant and try new things. In case of emergency, please follow the arrangement of the tour leader and tour guide.

4. Tourists should remember the phone number, license plate, hotel name and address of the tour leader when they are traveling in South Africa. Travel together to ensure safety.

5. Some commonly used drugs should be prepared for a rainy day. If tourists need to take certain drugs for a long time, such as hypertension, heart disease, stomach trouble or diabetes, they must bring enough drugs and doctor's prescriptions, and truthfully inform the tour leader of personal health information and emergency measures.

6. Visa: Tour groups going to South Africa must apply for group visas to leave the country and travel notes, and the whole group will leave and enter at the same time. After returning home, the original passport must be returned to the embassy for cancellation.

7. Entry: You need to fill in the "Entry Card Declaration Form". After you go through the customs and take out your checked baggage, the tour guide will pick up the group outside the airport with a "xxx pick-up card".

8. Security situation

The public security situation here is notoriously bad, which also makes many people flinch. However, as long as you pay more attention and listen to other people's warnings, traveling in South Africa is actually safe. People in China who live here say that everything is fine, the weather is good, the air is good and the scenery is beautiful, but the public security is not very good. Armed robbery and rape often occur, so it is best not to act alone, and girls should not travel alone. The downtown area of the city center is not very good, so it is more likely to be robbed. It's best to rest in the hotel in the morning and evening, don't go out for activities, and don't go to remote streets. If you are robbed unfortunately, don't resist, because most robbers carry guns. Even without guns, many people carry AIDS, so don't have physical conflicts with them. Call the police in a crowded place afterwards.

9. Food safety

Food in South Africa is relatively hygienic. Eating in restaurants ensures food safety.

10 medical care

The medical level is very high, so don't worry about getting sick occasionally during the trip. The environment and conditions of private hospitals are good, but the medical expenses are high. It is best to buy relevant insurance and prepare some commonly used drugs before departure.

Its commercial pipeline tap water quality is good. However, rivers and lakes may be parasitized by Schistosoma japonicum, so direct drinking or swimming in unfamiliar waters should be avoided. It is suggested that people who go to northern Limpopo province or Kruger Park in summer take antimalarial drugs in advance to prevent mosquito bites. If they have fever, cold sweat, headache, abdominal pain and other symptoms, they must seek medical attention in time.

It is one of the countries with the largest number of people infected with AIDS in the world, but its infection route is only through blood and body fluids, as long as individuals pay attention.

1. Time difference: local time is 6 hours slower than Beijing time, such as 12:00 noon Beijing time and 06:00 am local time.

12. Dress: The most important thing to pay attention to when traveling in South Africa is dress preparation. Because it is located in the southern hemisphere, the season is just the opposite of China; Every summer from June 10 to March, the average temperature is 28 degrees.
