開普敦很安全，lepton 詳細寫了 2021 or 2022? 她一家人的旅行，開普敦、花園大道和克魯格國家公園, the usual set up。
2015 和 2016，我們 did the route with opposite starting points each year, plus we detoured to see 2 other national parks near Port Elizabeth. 我們還去了真正的非洲最南點（不是好望角，而是厄加勒斯角, Cape Aguhas）這絕對值得 additional driving。
2017 我們決定分兩次開車——開普敦到伊麗莎白港，然後飛往德班。 從那裡到克魯格經過 KwaZulu Natal (Nelson Mandela was born in KwaZulu Natal region) 因為我們想參觀另外兩個國家公園，其中一個是專門的犀牛保護區 in KwaZulu Natal. 還可以經過河馬濕地保護區。幾條豪華遊輪 call on Durban and Richards Bay in this region. Talk about Richards Bay, we found ourselves lost due to road construction. We ended up drove into a gigantic aluminium manfacturer site with big trucks containing melting aluminium driving thru the site... Danger Signs all around, warning cars keep a distance from the trucks... We got out as quickly as possible. Still were lost, we wound up flagged down a local's pick up to ask for direction. The kind couple told us to follow them, they led us to our hotel hidden deep in an inlet of the bay, right next to the Naval Base!
沿著這條路 thru KwaZulu Natal 你會看到很少外國人，99%都是南非當地人 但我們從未感到任何危險。 一路上我們遇到了2個 Random 警察檢查站。 其中一支是由一男一女警組成的隊伍。 還有一次，警察突然不知從哪裡冒出來。 我先生 had the nerve to ask，我怎麼知道你是警察而不是壞人？ 警察微笑著，指著遠處隱藏在樹蔭下的警車。 兩次我們都出示了護照和 Avis 租車合約。 他們從來沒有真正看過這些文件。 在第一個檢查，警察一看到 Avis Logo，就說，哦，Avis。 然後就 Waived us through。
We used Avis rental car on each trip. The experiences with Avis were good on each visit UNTIL the last 2017 trip when we returned our car at Jo'Burg - they tried to scam us big time. It was a very long story but we prevailed.
南非非常值得多次去. 約堡在保持安全方麵可能有點具有挑戰性。 該國其他地區都很好。
