To witness this magnificent beauty people from different parts of the world come here every year. However, the biggest question here is how safe is it to travel across South Africa for a solo female traveller. Well, it is depicted that South Africa with its varied culture and language is not the obvious choice for solo female traveller traveling for the first time. When people think of South Africa the first thing that strikes their mind is the number of crimes, riots and violence took place and therefore the country does not carry a good word of mouth when it comes to safety. But, all these things happened there a long time ago. Indeed, South Africa has emerged to be one of those countries contributing to the economic powers of the world. So, with proper guidance and safety measures, even solo female travellers can enjoy their African adventure.

Solo traveling will often make one anxious whether you are traveling for the first time or the 10^th time. But, once the journey begins it is always worth traveling alone. The best part is; these days a female traveling alone is not considered unusual. So, if the question is about traveling to South Africa, it is as safe as to travel to other places in the world but it is just that one has to be extra cautious.

Woman planning for a solo trip to South Africa must try to keep themselves away from the places where there is a possibility of an attack. As South Africa is a conservative society, it is still a taboo for women to be traveling alone and going to bars and restaurants. Also, making friends and communicating with local women can be slightly tricky. But there is a sigh of relief that, girls are being sent to schools and educated women have started working in hotels and travel agencies.  So, solo female travellers can communicate without any hassles.

Solo female travellers must try to keep themselves away from immigrants who do not appreciate woman traveling alone and they will try hard to de-motivate. Solo female travellers can get the best help from the local women who will guide about the do’s and don’ts. Moreover, with a little bit of common sense and willpower, solo female travellers can thoroughly enjoy their South African trip. Another thing that solo female traveller has to care about is her attire. Since most of the African women wear traditional clothes, female traveller dressed up differently may draw the attention of the local men. So, it is necessary for the female traveller to follow the dress code.

A solo female traveller should be prepared to handle uneasy situations and the best way to stay away from is to be close to the public places and contact the local police if the problem still exists.
