South Africa Part-1 (Cape Town)
Hi Guys,
In current world, economics of marketing is very important and cutting the travelling cost in a smart way is crucial factor for business travellers as well as holiday visitors.
I am sharing my experience of last business trip to South Africa.
4. Local Travelling in Cape Town: I would suggest to avoid public transport in Cape Town and better if you use the Taxi as they are safe. I had called a taxi by calling the local taxi nos. and I used to travel in Taxi. Their service is fast, prompt and very safe. I wanted to go the table bay and near to the beach i just made one of the taxi driver friendly with me. In general people are honest. A little generosity like offering the coke to taxi driver when I was buying one for me and asking to have lunch flattered the guy. I had used his personal taxi afterwords for my personal city tour and he showed the places. I asked him to be with me when I went to the beach and I felt safe in that area because of him. Having locals with you is safer in any place of the world.
5. Airport: Airport is far from the city and traffic becomes heavy during evening. So, If your flight is in the evening, better check in advance about how much time it will take to reach to airport.
Wish you happy Journey.

1. Sim card: South African sim cards are available in all South African airports after immigration in arrival hall itself. You can buy it at the airport or in the city.
2. Where to stay in Cape Town: If you are a business visitor prefer staying in the business district of the city centre there are many good options available.if you are a holiday visitor you can choose a hotel near the water front or for leisure you can also stay in hotel or rent an apartment near the bay. here you will have good view of the sea as well as the mountains. there is Victoria Mall near the Waterfront and this place lots of shopping area.

3. Safety: Cape Town is much safer city in South Africa in comparison to other South African cities. I would still suggest you to avoid walking on the streets alone or showing your camera, mobiles and other valuables in public.
