Tips for Your South Africa Adventure
- Best Time to Go: October is one of the best months to visit South Africa. It’s part of the dry season in the Kruger National Park, which means wildlife viewing is even better as animals gather around waterholes.
- Pack Smart: South Africa experiences diverse climates, so packing light, breathable clothing is essential for day excursions. A hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are a must for safaris, while warmer layers may be needed for cooler nights.
- Stay Safe: South Africa is a relatively safe country for tourists, but as always, stay alert, especially in cities. Follow local safety tips, and use common sense regarding your belongings.
- Currency: South Africa uses the Rand (ZAR). Most places accept credit cards, but carrying some cash for small purchases is still a good idea.
