Visa

You most likely don't need a visum if you will stay in South Africa for less than 90 days. You will receive your tourist visum at the entry point to South Africa. The flight attendants hand out visa applications on the plane that you have to fill in and show the passport control. However, make sure with your South African embassy that you do not require a visum beforehand. Find your embassy here.

Clothes:

We recommend bringing light clothes in summer. However, some evenings can get chilly - so bring a light jacket. It can get down to approx. 5 C in the South African winter (June, July, August). Please take warm clothes with you. But with a bit of luck, you will catch a warm and sunny day.
