Be prepared: important information before you go
Visas for South Africa are not required for British passport holders. However, passports must be valid for a minimum of 30 days with at least 2 blank pages on entry and exit. While in Cape Town ensure you always carry some form of identification (for example, a photocopy of your passport). South Africa's crime rate is very high - it is extremely important you take care at all times, especially at night. It can be advisable to hire a reliable guide. The currency is the South African Rand (ZAR) and prices are generally much lower than in the UK. South Africa does not observe daylight savings - the time difference to the UK is one hour ahead of UK time (BST) during the summer, 2 hours ahead of the UK in winter.
