I know what you’re thinking, but dude we are in the middle of a pandemic and you want to talk about travel? Hold up here me out, yes we are in the middle of the biggest pandemic in a century with that said this thing is not going to last forever, things are already looking up and experts say travel will explode after this horrible covid19 ordeal.

Outfits to Pack for Trip to South Africa

In the meantime, while you’re in lockdown, now is the best time to work on your African travel bucket list and I’m here to help you for free yes you heard it right it’s free. The so much to do in South Africa and most of it comes down to one thing, that is nature’s give yes I am talking about the weather, not just any weather but sunny days for 350 days of the year. Our winter is Europe and North American summer, don’t believe me? Check your weather app you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Because South Africa is technically speaking summer all year you will need a lot of light gear for your vacation, if you are doing a mash-up i.e. a working vacation we got you all the way. Here are some tips for your trip:

• It is a well-known fact that South Africa is known for its safari lodges and most travelers are flocking in to see the big five in the jungle. We have the Kruger national park in the north of South Africa there are beautiful lodges and good food at decent prices. European and North American Travelers have a great advantage because of weak currency which means you don’t need a lot of dollars to travel to South Africa.
• For starters, before we suggesting some outfit ideas let’s start with the language, South Africa has 12 Official languages including English and Sign language. Then there’s everyday slang which is the mixture of most languages if not all of them. I’m going to give you a crash course, few words to live by on the streets in case you get lost, and some cultural habits to avoid.

  Aweh or Awe means hello, if you use this word everyone from any cultural background will understand what you saying or you can simply say hello.

• English is widely spoken in South Africa so if you understand it you should be fine in most cases. But if you’re trying to impress the ladies, “aweh” will put you in good standing because you showed initiative to learn the street culture lingo.
• Another definite “no” in South Africa is, do not parade your phone around on the streets as you don’t know who’s watching, you might just get your phone snatched and this will ruin your whole South African experience.
• There’s absolutely no need to go past currency exchange because South Africa’s banking system is very sophisticated and there are a lot of options for digital transactions, powered by visa and MasterCard – all you need to do is search for some fintech startup to link your card to when paying however there’s also no need for that either so your Visa and master card should be fine.
