Avoid carrying large sums of cash, or having valuables – including cameras – in plain sight. Be vigilant with your personal belongings, particularly in crowded public spaces, and do not leave belongings unattended.

When drawing money at ATM cash machines, do not allow strangers to assist or distract you in any way.

Be cautious when walking in the city at night, especially alone. If unsure of which areas are safe, ask our hotel staff for advice.

Safe and reliable public transport is limited in Cape Town. Rather ask the hotel concierge to arrange a transfer, or use e-hailing services such as Uber or Bolt.

To report any safety incident, use the following numbers:
• All emergencies from your mobile phone: 112
• All emergencies from a landline: 107
• South African Police Services (SAPS) – 10111
