Is it safe to visit South Africa?

Safety is a top priority for us. With proper precautions and awareness, Cape Town and the Kruger National Park can be safe and enjoyable destinations for travelers. It’s always a good idea to stay informed about the latest safety information and to follow the advice of local authorities and travel experts. If you have any concerns, please get in touch with us at sales@worldadventuretours.com, and we will answer any query that you may have. In Cape Town, the main safety concerns are related to petty crime, such as pickpocketing and theft, especially in crowded areas and tourist sites. Visitors are advised to be aware of their surroundings, keep an eye on their belongings, and avoid walking alone at night. In the Kruger National Park, visitors are advised to be aware of the wildlife and to follow the park’s rules and guidelines. It’s important to stay in designated areas and never to approach or disturb the animals, as this can be dangerous.

What should I wear on safari?

When visiting the Kruger National Park, it’s important to dress appropriately for both comfort and practicality. Here are some tips on what to wear. Comfortable, breathable clothing: South Africa’s climate is generally warm, so it’s important to wear lightweight and breathable clothing that will keep you cool and comfortable during game drives. Loose-fitting, long-sleeved shirts and pants made of lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen are good choices. Neutral-colored clothing: When on safari, it’s best to wear neutral-colored clothing like beige, khaki, or green. Bright colors or patterns can make it more difficult to observe wildlife without disturbing them. Closed-toe shoes: It’s important to wear sturdy, comfortable, closed-toe shoes that provide good support for walking and hiking. Sneakers or hiking boots are a good choice. Hat and sunglasses: A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses will provide shade and protection from the sun during game drives. Layering: South Africa’s climate can vary from hot and sunny during the day to cool and windy at night, so it’s important to dress in layers that can be easily added or removed. Insect repellent: Mosquitoes and other insects can be present in some areas of the Kruger National Park, so it’s important to apply insect repellent and wear long-sleeved shirts and pants in the evenings.

Can we fly direct from Cape Town to Kruger National Park?

Yes, approx. 1-hour flights are available for booking. Please ensure you make the booking in advance. Please get in touch with us at sales@worldadventuretours.com to book your domestic flight from Cape Town to the Kruger National Park.

When is the perfect time of year to visit wine farms in South Africa?

The grape harvest season in South Africa runs from January to April, and this is a great time to visit wine farms if you want to see the winemaking process in action. You’ll have the opportunity to participate in grape picking, crushing, and other winemaking activities. The winter season in South Africa runs from June to August, and this is a good time to visit wine farms if you’re interested in wine tasting and touring the wine cellars. The weather is cooler, and the vineyards are more dormant during this time, but the wine farms still offer tours and tastings. The spring season in South Africa runs from September to November, and this is a great time to visit wine farms if you’re interested in the beauty of the vineyards in bloom. The weather is mild, and the vineyards are lush and green, making for some great photo opportunities. The summer season in South Africa runs from December to February, and this is a good time to visit wine farms if you’re interested in outdoor activities like picnics, hikes, and bike tours. The weather is warm and sunny, and many wine farms offer outdoor events and activities during this time.

When should I visit the Kruger National Park?

The Dry season is between May to September. This is the best time for game viewing in the Kruger National Park as the vegetation is less dense, and the animals are easier to spot around the water sources. The weather is mild and dry, with cooler temperatures at night. The Wet season is between October to April. This is a good time to visit if you want to see the park’s lush vegetation and birdlife. The landscape is green and vibrant, and many migratory birds arrive during this time. However, it can be more challenging to spot animals as they disperse in search of food and water. The wet season is also the hottest and most humid time of year, with regular afternoon thunderstorms.

What language do the guides speak?

The safari guides speak English. 

Are we safe using open-roofed vehicles?

Yes, using an open-roofed safari vehicle while in the Kruger National Park is generally safe. The vehicles used for safari tours in the park are specially designed for game viewing and are equipped with safety features to ensure the safety of passengers. That being said, it’s important always to follow the park’s rules and guidelines for safari tours and any instructions your tour guide gives. These may include staying seated while the vehicle is in motion, not approaching animals too closely, and keeping quiet to avoid disturbing the wildlife. It’s also important to be aware of the potential dangers of wild animals and never get out of the vehicle unless instructed by your guide, as this could be extremely dangerous.
