Citizens from many countries, including the U.S., Canada, the UK, Australia, and most EU nations, can enter South Africa visa-free for up to 90 days for tourism purposes. Ensure your passport is valid for at least 30 days beyond your intended departure date and has at least two blank pages for entry stamps.
Greetings matter—shake hands, smile, and say “Sawubona.” Dress modestly in rural areas and at traditional ceremonies and always ask before taking photos of people or in sacred places. Travelers are genuinely welcomed, but showing humility and curiosity will enrich your experience. Like with many culture rich areas, being mindful and respectful is always important.
Laundry facilities are available in Cape Town, throughout South Africa, Johannesburg, Maputo, Swakopmund, Victoria Falls, Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Kampala and Nairobi. Often for a small fee, you can have your laundry washed on your behalf. Most camps (excluding remote camps) have hand-washing facilities. A handy tip: you can buy a small box of eco-laundry detergent from your local camping store or once in Africa.
Definitely! Etosha’s salt pan and waterholes create ideal conditions for wildlife viewing. It’s one of Africa’s best parks for spotting game from a vehicle or camp.
