Some of South Africa’s best-protected indigenous coastal forests are found along
the subtropical coastline of Kwa-Zulu Natal.

The North West lies in the north of South Africa on the Botswana border, fringed by
the Kalahari desert in the west. The North West Province is 310.2 kms from
Pretoria. It has a number of major tourist attractions, including the internationally
famous Sun City, the Pilanesberg National Park and the Madikwe Game Reserve.

Safety tips when in Pretoria
1. Don't put your purse or wallet in the back pocket of your trousers. Also make
sure that if you have a handbag or camera bag, to keep it close to you at all
times, while walking in the streets or waiting at a bus stop or train station.
2. Don't withdraw money early in the morning or late at night from the ATM
(Asynchronous Transfer Mode). Don’t accept help from people offering to
'help' you to withdraw money from the ATM. It is a good idea not to have a lot
of money on your person at once. When driving around, place you handbag,
cell phone and any other valuables under the car seat!
3. Don’t walk on the streets alone at night. If you want to do some site seeing
make sure there are other people around. It should come as no surprise that
wandering alone in a dark alley is likely to result in a bad event… no matter
where you are in the world.
4. Make use of a shuttle service to take you to where you need to be or make
use of the Gautrain or Gautrain busses to get around Pretoria.
5. Whether you’re planning on visiting a township or going on a safari drive,
make sure you are accompanied by a registered tour guide. Townships are a
wonderful and enlightening experience, but can be a little confronting for
tourists to visit.
6. Always be aware of your surroundings. When walking in the streets, avoid
displaying valuable objects that could easily be stolen. These include objects
such as jewellery, electronic equipment, mobile phones, car keys and
wallets/purses.
7. Walk with a purpose and plan routes beforehand. Looking lost or asking for
directions makes you vulnerable to being an easy target for a criminal. Ask
police officers, and shop or hotel staff for directions. If confronted by a
criminal, comply with the criminal’s demands to hand over valuables.

Travel Tips
Time Differences
South African time is two hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time throughout the year,
making it an hour ahead of Central European Winter Time, seven hours ahead of
Eastern Standard Winter Time and seven hours behind Australian Central Time.
There is no daylight saving in South Africa.
Once at the airport and how to get to your hotel
OR Tambo International Airport (Johannesburg – airport code JNB) is the major
airport in Gauteng and is situated in Kempton Park in Johannesburg. In order to get
to Pretoria one can either hire a shuttle service to drive you to your hotel or you can
make arrangements with the hotel itself, where you will be staying to pick you up
upon arrival and to take you back to the airport on departure. You can also opt to
make use of the Gautrain, which you can catch directly from OR Tambo International
Airport to the Hatfield Station, which is in walking distance from the University of
Pretoria. The Gautrain also offers a Gautrain bus service, so you can then catch a
bus once at the Hatfield station to different areas of Pretoria.

whether you are from a country that requires you get a visa

conference is taking place - giving all the relevant details and a list of delegates,
if possible

abroad, authorising them to issue visas to the delegates providing that
o nothing detrimental is known about the delegate, and that

Banks and Money
The currency unit in South Africa is the Rand, denoted by the symbol R before the
numbers. There are 100 cents (100c) in R1 (one Rand). Foreign currency may be
exchanged at local banks and Bureaux de Changes. Most major international credit
cards such as American Express, Diners Club, MasterCard, Visa and their affiliates
are accepted at most places in South Africa.
Leaving a tip
Most restaurants do not add a service charge to bills - thus it is customary to leave a
10-15% tip.
8
Tax
Value-added-tax (VAT) is charged on most items. Foreign tourists visiting South
Africa may have their 14% VAT refunded, provided that the value of goods
purchased exceeds R250.00. VAT is refunded at the point of departure provided
receipts are produced. However VAT on accommodation and services cannot be
refunded.
Disabled Travellers
Generally speaking, our facilities for the disabled are improving. An increasing
number of accommodation establishments have wheelchair ramps and bathroom
facilities for the disabled. Almost every national park has at least one wheelchairfriendly chalet and many other accommodation establishments have one or two
wheelchair-friendly rooms. Most of our sports stadiums have accessible suites,
stands or areas for wheelchairs near accessible parking as well as special toilet
facilities. Most public buildings are also wheelchair friendly.
Clothing
Some advice on what to wear on your visit to South Africa:

During the summer time make sure to bring clothes that are cool, light and
comfortable, because summer temperatures can get well into the 30
degree Celsius range in some areas. (86 degrees Fahrenheit and above).

Also make sure to bring an umbrella or raincoat during summer as this is
when most of the country gets its rainfall. In areas like Gauteng,
thundershowers are common. So it is a good idea to bring a light jacket
with you. Also make sure to pack in a swimming costume (bathing suit) as
most hotels and guest houses in Pretoria have a swimming pool.

If you plan to go on safari drives, a couple of neutral-toned clothing items
will be useful, but there's no need to go overboard. A good pair of walking
shoes is also advisable.

For the evening, if you are dining at an upmarket restaurant or seeing a
show, smart-casual attire is recommended.

Tourist Signs
South African tourism signs are designed to direct and guide visitors to tourist
facilities. South African tourist signs are coloured white on brown and are mostly
trapezoidal in shape. They indicate the location of attractions, facilities, services and
activities of interest to tourists. This includes accommodation, where B&B, for
example, indicates a bed and breakfast establishment; a caravan denotes a caravan
park; a tent signifies a campsite; a house symbolises a guest house; and a bed
indicates a hotel, motel or inn.

Electrical Sockets
Electrical sockets (outlets) in South Africa are the "Type M" South African SABS1661
("Large" 15 amp BS-546) sockets. This is actually an old British standard. The "Type
M" South African plug and socket is not to be confused with the "Type D " Indian
plug and socket.
In pictures, they look very similar, but the South African type is much larger than the
Indian type, and they are physically incompatible. If your appliance's plug doesn't
match the shape of these sockets, you will need a travel plug adapter in order to plug
in. Travel plug adapters simply change the shape of your appliance's plug to match
whatever type of socket you need to plug into.

Adapter for "Type M" South African SABS1661 / 15 amp "Large" British BS-546
10
Voltage in the hotels is 220-230 V. If you plan on bringing electrical devices with you,
it is suggested that you bring an electrical converter with adaptor plug set, as some
guest houses and hotles may not have this equipment. The socket configurations do
indeed vary between two and three pronged varieties, so please bring the entire set
of adaptors with you.
