Accommodation

• All accommodation – self catering houses, B&B, guest houses, hotels and camping sites usually keep high standard and are clean.

• Make sure to book with an establishment that is a member of a Tourism Bureau, graded by TGCSA (Tourism Grading Council of South Africa), AA graded etc as these establishments have to adhere to certain minimum criteria in regards to equipment and service.

• If possible make bookings directly through the owners as you will be able to get the best price not having to pay commissions (payable either by guest or owner).

• Public places and toilets in malls, restaurants and petrol stations are mostly clean. You can often find changing and nursing rooms at malls.

• Electrical appliances are run at 220 Volt 50 Hertz (except in Pretoria 230V and Port Elizabeth 200/250V). Plugs are not always compatible but adaptors can be bought at most grocery or hardware shops.
