five top tips

  • 01It is critical to ensure you have the correct visa before you arrive as you will need to return home to make changes if you have the wrong visa.
  • 02Safety should be a top priority. Sign up with a good security company and ensure your home is fitted with the latest security equipment.
  • 03Wear sunglasses and sunscreen throughout the year. The UV rays in South Africa are extremely strong.
  • 04Be adventurous, not stupid. Whenever you go on a new hike or nature walk, do it with a local who knows the route and the time it takes to get back.
  • 05Follow the networking process. Join a few expatriate clubs. It’s a lot easier to travel the grapevine between social scenes than to jump into on

Interesting fact

Clouds that cover the tops of mountains only are known as "Lenticular" or "Cap" clouds. When there is a cap cloud on Lions head, a peak in the Table mountain range, and nowhere else, rain is guaranteed within the next 12 hours.
