^ its totally safe! i'm caucasian and haven't even felt in danger. The rumors of it being unsafe has been fixed by Nelson Mandela. We have crime like any other country, although it is a bit much, but still the same like the big citys in USA. Unfortunatley there's only the two big parks but there are alot of tourist attractions. like Cape town, the "Mother City", home to Table mountain and Ratanaga Junction. Cape town is known for its attractions and there's a lot to do. SA's coast is pretty, but in the middle of SA its kinda ugly. the big "Karoo", there grows almost nothing. Amost like Nevada Desert. And yes, in SA nomatter where you are at the sea: BEWARE OF THE SHARKS !! they're everywhere!
please come but i won't be able to guide you,seeing that i'm only 15 years old adn live 4 hours from Cape Town and 12 hours from Gold Reef City. and oh yeah, Legal smoking and Drinking age is 16
and our currency is'n as strong as the $. to be exact, almost R7,00 in $1. Plus parks and that expensive as in the US. Damn parks there are expensive!
