Tipps für Reisende
Verkehrsmittel
Uber is best
Take the stress out of travelling on Johannesburg roads and trying to find parking by rather using Uber for all outings. Traffic police & road blocks are common on weekends so never drink and drive if going out for the evening!
Was einpacken?
Sunscreen and comfy shoes
The African sun is brutal, never leave home without covering all exposed skin (yes, even in Winter!). Comfortable shoes are a must as you'll do a lot of walking while sight-seeing.
Nützliche Sätze
English is easy
Everyone speaks English so you'll have no problem getting around or asking for advice/help/directions from our very friendly locals.
Solo reisen
Avoid exposing Jewellery and Phones
Flashy jewellery and Cell Phones are a temptation to muggers so please don't wear your sparklies when going out on tours and walking around and don't stand around on a street with your phone in your hand. Pack it in a bag/pocket where it can't be seen (especially when waiting for an Uber - be conscious of who is around you).
Solo reisen
Never use an ATM on the street
Never withdraw money from a street ATM where people can see you. Rather go into the banks or shopping centres where there is more privacy.
