Hello,
My wife and I will be arriving in Cape Town next month. We will be renting a car from Avis at CPT. I have had many bad experiences with many different car rental companies in many different places over the years. During check-in the agents often push me to buy body damage protection, toll passes, collision waivers, and in one case windshield and tire damage coverage.
This will be my first time renting in South Africa. I will be checking with my credit card before the trip to see…
I'm planning to travel to S.A for a year starting in September and I've gotten conflicting info regarding visas. I have two volunteer opportunities lined up with host families found through HelpX.net (great resource for travelers wanting to volunteer) that are 1 month each. Originally I thought I could go on a visitors visa and leave for a few weeks every 90 days then re-enter S.A. but I've been told they are tightening up on this. Has anyone had experience with entering on a visitors visa and…
I have tried to search for car rental information in South Africa, but the results have been limited.
We would like to rent a car In South Africa for a total of about 3 weeks. We may break it into two segments with a break in between.
Is it advisable to book outside the country with one of the international agencies. We have used Europcar, Hertz and Avis before in Europe, USA and Canada.
In Europe and North America we use our premium credit cards to cover the car insurance. (Liabiliity and…
We are preparing our SA in September and we are unsure how many days and itinerary do in Kruger Park. We could spend there up to 9-10 days.
As lodges seem to be almost full, please could you suggest an itinerary and how many days is a reasonable stay to make the most of our visit there?
Many thnaks for your help
Hello.
We are planning a visit to Kruger in late September (as part of a larger South African intinerary which includes Cape Town et al) and trying to optimize our return to Jo'Burg and see if we can squeeze in a detour to Blyde River Canyon on the way.
We are planning to finish our safari in Kruger on Friday morning and fly out of Jo'Burg on Saturday evening. Given this, the essential questions are:
If we detour to visit Blyde River Canyon on our way out of Kruger Friday morning,
* How…
If , I know exactly where and when and for how long I want to go, I've researched the best ways to get from one place to another , should I find an agent to actually book everything through ( basically 3 places all in SA) or can I just do it on my own?
Getting someone to arrange all the transfers would be one convincence, but couldn't I ask the lodges / hotel (which have the info listed on their websites ) to help me arrange that? Same with tours in Cape Town ?
It seems most people use an agent…
Hi - I arrive in Jo'burg on Sunday 31st August, I have a car waiting for me, I will be going to Cape Town via Bloemfontein, then Namibia, Okavango, Gaberone, Francistown, Zimbabwe, back to South Africa to east coast back to Jo'burg end of November.

We are planning a trip to South Africa and really looking forward to it. We are starting off in Cape Town and are really struggling to decide where to stay between city centre or V and A waterfront. We like eating out and nice bars. Ideas for location or hotel recommendations would be really appreciated.
does anyone have a recommendation for the best travel insurance to buy for a 4 month trip to Cape Town?
