JULY 2019
It’s the end of July so it must be time to plan for a summer holiday in South Africa! From October to April/May you are most likely to experience very good weather with average temperatures between 20 degrees Celsius (68 F) and 25 degrees Celsius (77 F) and higher!

High crime rates have earned South Africa a reputation as a dangerous destination.  The tourist areas that we recommend are very safe. However it is always a recommendation to exercise caution whichever country one travels to. The vast majority of crime occurs in South Africa’s poor townships, which are seldom frequented by tourists. We do offer Township Tours with experienced guides who live in these townships.
