Good things come to those who wait...This is true for travellers to South Africa, too, for whom a long flight (and possible jetlag) is part of the experience.

So the often long flight to South Africa is part of the journey (and possibly some jet leg too). The good news? Once your visitors are here, they’ll find it easy to get around, even if they prefer to drive themselves rather than hiring a tour guide.

Our tourism infrastructure is extremely well developed. There are loads of transport options to help visitors move between hubs, excellent accommodation establishments, easily accessible shops providing key essentials (including many global brands that people are familiar with) – and, of course, most people speak English.

This module will equip you with everything you need to know to provide appropriate advice for getting to South Africa and moving around once your visitors arrive.
