Weather and Surf Seasons
South Africa is famous for its sunshine. It’s a relatively dry country, with an average annual rainfall of about 464mm (compared to a world average of about 860mm). While the Western Cape gets most of its rainfall in winter, the rest of the country is generally a summer-rainfall region.
Currency
With a very favourable exchange rate for most Western currencies South Africa is a very affordable destination.
The unit of currency in South Africa is the Rand and is issued in notes and cents. One hundred cents (c) = one Rand (R)
Crime and Security
South Africa, like many countries has its share of crime. We would advise you to take a few basic precautions. All valuables, passports, cameras, should be locked in a safe place, either the safe of your hotel or at the least locked in your bag if unattended. Valuables should be carried discreetly when walking in cities, as thieves can spot tourists from a mile away.
