IS CAPE TOWN SAFE?
I first visited Capetown back in 2016 and lived there for 6 months. I went back again and lived there for a year and I have been going back ever since. The only time I did not have a chance to visit was at the beginning of the Pandemic. I have never feared for my safety in Capetown.
Cape Town is a major, modern cosmopolitan South African city. As such, it is always advised to exercise the same level of vigilance you would exercise when visiting any major city in the world.
This includes ensuring you follow basic safety tips such as keeping emergency numbers on hand, avoiding carrying large sums of cash and keeping your valuables safe at all times. Cape Town has also been awarded the Safe Travels stamp by the World Travel & Tourism Council for its adherence to internationally-recognized Covid-19 protocols.
The destination is frequently cited as among the world’s best holiday destinations and has a high return visitor rate, anyone who visits Capetown once, falls in love with it, and wants to discover it again.
