Responds information department of the "Tourism Subtlety"
To get back from South Africa healthy, it is necessary to start taking malaria remedies beforehand and take them with you. It is not necessary to be vaccinated against yellow fever, there are no outbreaks in the country. At the border will require a certificate of vaccination only if the passport is a stamp on visiting countries that are dangerous in this regard.

On vacation it is enough to observe simple rules of hygiene: wash hands before meals, drink bottled water (in large cities can be simply boiled), constantly use sunscreen, do not climb into the lakes and rivers to swim if the guide does not allow, and follow all his instructions for safari.

Do not take clothes for rest khaki or camouflage - to him in Africa are not unambiguous. In South Africa only occasionally you will look, if you take an excursion abroad, there may be problems.

Paying the card, do not let it take it away, and be careful at ATMs - fraud flourishes.

To avoid extremely unpleasant incidents, do not walk around near the poor quarters of Johannesburg. There, tourists and local white people move by car, with closed windows and locked doors. Cape Town and even Durban are much safer
