South Africa is open to leisure travel and international arrivals are rising strongly. The main traveler issues right now are domestic unrest tied to anti-immigration protests, persistent crime, and some localized weather/disaster disruptions; there is no nationwide war, airspace closure, or tourist-payment sanctions problem. Travel is active, but visitors should plan carefully and use normal city-safety precautions.
