    Hi!Just loved this in detail and funtastic video!😍 I’m now planning a trip there. Is it completely safe to take a road trip by ourselves in South Africa?

    • @SavvyFernweh
      @SavvyFernweh  Рік тому

      I would not say completely.. hence drive during day time and dont take very secluded routes. Famous spots and highways are safe. Whole day vehicles are running regularly. We did self driving and followed the above precautions
      Garden route is quite popular worldwide..so u wont face much difficulties on it.

      @SavvyFernweh  Рік тому +1

      Thank you for your lovely comment! I'm glad you found the video informative and enjoyable. When planning your trip to South Africa, I would suggest considering late November to early December as a great time to visit. The weather during this period is usually pleasant, with mild temperatures and fewer tourists compared to the peak season. It allows you to explore the stunning landscapes and vibrant cities of South Africa at a more relaxed pace. Wishing you an incredible adventure in SA! Safe travels and enjoy every moment!

      Thank you for watching my videos and reaching out to me for advice. Regarding Sun City, it ultimately depends on your personal preferences. If you enjoy activities such as golfing, safaris, and water sports, Sun City could be a worthwhile destination. However, if those activities do not interest you, you may want to consider other destinations in South Africa.

    • @SavvyFernweh
      @SavvyFernweh  Рік тому

      Hello! I'm glad my video helped you plan your first trip to South Africa. In terms of driving in South Africa, having an International Driving Permit (IDP) is generally recommended as it serves as an English translation of your driving license. However, if your Indian driving license is already in English, you may be good to go without an IDP

    question1 - is it good to book online before reaching there/
    2- if i book online, will i have to deposit any amount after reaching there. .if yes. .how much will they require as deposit from my credit card ?
    3. wht will be good for me in case of credit card .i mean how much credit limit will be better ??

    • @SavvyFernweh
      @SavvyFernweh  6 місяців тому +1

      Hi! It's a good idea to book your rental car online before you arrive. Companies usually ask for a deposit when you pick up the car. This deposit can be around R3000 to R5000, but it varies. Make sure your credit card has enough limit to cover this deposit plus the cost of the rental and your other travel expenses.

    Started your video with lots of excitement.. but soooo disappointed. The video is not informative at all. One can't call it a travel guide😢. Total waste of 20 mins
