What is load shedding in South Africa and will it impact me during my stay?

South Africa’s energy crisis or load shedding is an ongoing period of widespread national blackouts of electricity supply. It began in the later months of 2007.

Thankfully, most South Africans are resilient and therefore many accommodations, shops, restaurants, etc. have generators in place for when load shedding takes place.

Please make sure you enquire about this when booking any accommodation.

Safety and Security tips while in South Africa?

In areas such as Camps Bay, Clifton, Bakoven, Hout Bay and Franschhoek you are generally safe to walk/cycle around. That said, we recommend you only do this in pairs/groups.

Please be mindful of your belongings at all times and do not leave your valuables unattended at any time.

Please use private car hire or Uber when travelling around. For your own safety, we would not recommend any public transport.

Drinking & Driving, in South Africa we have regular roadblocks in the evenings along many main roads and popular social spots, that will stop drivers and test for alcohol. Please do not drink and drive at any time!

What is the local currency and exchange rate?

The local currency is the South African Rand (ZAR or R).

Tipping & Gratuities in South Africa?

Tips and gratuities are typically discretionary and are between 10-12.5% minimum. These are often not included in most bills at bars/restaurants and must be calculated and added at the end.
