"South Africa offers a huge range of holiday types, from Safari and nature to beaches and cities. So depending on what you're doing make sure you have the right travel insurance. There'a a high standard of private medical facilities in South Africa, but it's expensive. And the cost of repatriation from such a long distance country could end up costing you a fortune.
There’s also high crime rates across the country and in lots of the main cities like Pretoria and Johannesburg. So making sure your belongings are covered should the worst happen is also vital."
