Safety and Security

The gap between the haves and the have nots in the Eastern Cape is high. Many people live below the breadline and so petty theft can be a problem. Do not leave personal belongings unattended. Just as in most places with high tourist traffic it is necessary to be careful with cameras, jewellry and lugage. Don''t flaunt these. Before setting out on a journey find out from a tour guide, hotel receptionist or information officer the best route to follow.
