Traveller tips
Make sure to try the local cherries and other fresh produce during your visit. Pack sunscreen and a hat for outdoor activities, as the sun can be strong in South Africa. Respect the natural environment and follow any guidelines for hiking or other outdoor activities. Check the weather forecast before planning your trip, especially if you are visiting in winter. Take some time to explore the nearby wineries and taste the delicious South African wines. Be prepared for varying temperatures, as the weather can change quickly in the mountains.
