Since there are staggeringly poor areas in this country, it is not at all uncommon to hear about muggings and armed robberies in this country.Īnd though usually, the motive of these crimes is theft, rape also occurs from time to time, which is especially relevant for female visitors. Though this is a country where there’s so much to see and do, that it’s impossible to fit it all in during one trip, with both breathtaking scenery, rich and luxurious parts of major cities, exciting nightlife and incredible culture, it is a country with a serious rate of crime to watch out for. Be very careful at night and avoid risky situations such as winding-up in deserted and poorly lit streets or finding yourself in an unknown area with strange people. Though many female travelers went to South Africa and had no problems at all, this country might not be the safest choice for female solo travelers. It is one of the most unequal countries in the world, where you can see opulence and poverty standing side by side. On the one hand, it is, without exaggeration, a first world state, especially the major cities such as Cape Town and Johannesburg, and on the other hand it has a staggering rate of poverty, only imaginable in Africa.
Mainly, it can be said that it is a country consisting of two countries. Though some may think of typical stereotypes when hearing the words “South Africa”, it is actually completely different than people imagine. It is also very influential when it comes to African politics, and in 2010, South Africa hosted the first Football World Cup to be held on the African continent. It is the country that boasts the strongest economy on the continent: South Africa is known for its wines and is one of the world’s largest producers of gold. It is no exaggeration to say that this country is huge, with many varying landscapes and 11 official languages, and an equally diverse population.
It shares its borders with Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Swaziland, and Lesotho. South Africa is a country located at the southern tip of Africa.
