    Thinking of a holiday in South Africa, possibly on the coast somewhere. Has anybody been, any recommendations?
    I lived there for 3 years, so have lots of recommendations, depending on what you want to do and for how long and when - and if you love wine! Someone on here (President?) lived there longer-term than us.
    Ah great, Id be looking for somewhere fairly chill where we can lounge on a beach with potentially lots to explore in the local area.

    It is an amazing place but you be mindful of your security. The food and wine is wonderful and you can do beaches, wildlife, lots of different scenery and of course the winelands. Depends what you want to explore....you have to keep security in mind

    Ive heard the horror stories of tourists getting car jacked and kidnappings, and to be honest it does worry me. Is it really bad?

    Its a few years since I've lived there. But it is certainly something to be aware of. I believe the main risk would be straying into a risky area
