Planning Trip to
South Africa?
When traveling to South Africa, there are several things you should keep in mind to ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip. Here are a few tips that might help:
01
Visa & Documents
Australian passport holders can enter South Africa visa-free for up to 90 days. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay.
02
Currency Exchange
It’s always helpful to carry some South African Rand (ZAR). Use RedRate, which has locations across Australia, to get the best AUD→ZAR exchange rates before you leave.
03
HEALTH & SAFETY
Consult your doctor about recommended vaccinations, and pack mosquito repellent and basic medications.
04
Transport
In cities, public transport like buses, trains, and ride-hailing apps is available. For intercity travel, domestic flights and long-distance buses are common options.
05
Stay Connected
Get a local SIM card from providers like Vodacom, MTN, or Cell C at the airport or retail stores for affordable data and nationwide coverage.
The South African Rand (symbol: R; currency code: ZAR) is the official currency of South Africa, issued and regulated by the South African Reserve Bank. It is subdivided into 100 cents. Coins in circulation include 10c, 20c, 50c, R1, R2, and R5; banknotes are issued in denominations of R10, R20, R50, R100, and R200. Introduced in 1961 to replace the South African pound, the rand was named after the Witwatersrand, the ridge upon which Johannesburg is built and where most of South Africa's gold deposits were found. Today, travelers often monitor the AUD→ZAR rate when planning visits to places like Cape Town, Kruger National Park, or the Garden Route—and balance cash and digital payments for local experiences.
