I often get asked about traveling to South Africa alone, particularly regarding safety and what to expect. Like many major cities worldwide, Cape Town has areas where you should be cautious, especially at night. It’s always a good idea to keep your belongings secure and out of sight, whether on your person or in a vehicle.
One of the safest neighborhoods in Cape Town is Camps Bay. This beautiful seaside area is not only known for its stunning beaches and mountain backdrop but also for its safety. Residents and businesses invest significantly in private security, ensuring a higher level of safety and peace of mind. At Cams Bay Apartments, we offer a range of accommodations, including apartments and townhouses in secure complexes. Our villas are equipped with state-of-the-art security systems, providing an additional layer of protection for our guests.
When it comes to getting around Cape Town, Uber is a convenient and relatively economical option for shorter drives. If you’re looking for more personalized transportation, you can book an airport transfer, hire a private driver for the duration of your stay, or arrange for private or organized tours to explore the city and its surroundings.
For those traveling on a tighter budget, the Baz Bus is an excellent option. It’s a safe and affordable way to travel along the coast, providing a hop-on, hop-off service that connects Cape Town with other popular destinations in South Africa.
If you’re interested in exploring more of South Africa beyond Cape Town, I highly recommend booking a safari in the northern part of the country. The safari camps are typically very secure and often offer luxurious accommodations, allowing you to experience the natural beauty and wildlife of South Africa in comfort and safety.
Traveling alone can be a wonderfully liberating experience, and with a bit of planning and awareness, it can be both safe and enjoyable. Whether you’re exploring Cape Town’s bustling streets or enjoying the tranquility of a safari, South Africa has so much to offer solo travelers.
