 Check taxi prices in advance!! by zarada
It is up to the taxi company to determine how much to charge per km as long as it is listed on the taxi itself. To avoid nasty surprises chech the following before getting into a cab:
1 - check price per km listed at the back of the taxi and remember you can look/call for a cheaper one. I'd suggest to ask your hotel for the number of cheaper ones.
2 - Ask in advance how far is the place you're going to and the approximate cost of the taxi ride.
Taxis can't be stopped in the middle of the street, you can find them at taxi stands or call for one. Theme: Other

 Sani Pass by John195123
Sani Pass is a beautiful off-road drive. You'll need four-wheel drive in the winter, especially, but I'm not sure you're allowed to go up if you don't have it. It'd be nice to have in Lesotho as well. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Ali by our fiesta in Cape Town by kentishgirl
We arranged our car hire when we were in Stellenbosch, so on our second day in Cape Town we wandered around to the National car hire building and picked up our brand new fiesta which was to be our means of transport in South Africa for 5 weeks.
Cape Town is a city, so it is fairly busy.
This is South Africa remember - so you must use common sense when driving around, we always kept our car doors locked, its a bonus to have air con inside your car. Always park in a prking bay or a car park - many will have attendants who keep an eye on your car - drop them a few rand when you go back to collect.
I seriously heard so many negative comments from people when we said we were hiring a car, but for us it was the only option - to go where we pleased when we pleased.
We did not encounter any problems - just use your head!

If driving around Cape Town from Hout Bay to Vishoek please note that the Chapmans Peak route is a toll road and traffic is allowed only from one direction each way for 15 minutes before switching around again so tip - take money and patience. The road offers spectacular views of the ocean and mountains along the way but a beautiful drive to see Theme: Car/Motor Home

Cross the great grey-green greasy Limpopo River. I didn't see any fever trees that I know of, but there's a bridge. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home
