Have You Considered?

Keep your eyes peeled for opportunities to try local food, especially specialties like braai (barbecue), bobotie (spiced meat dish), and biltong (dried cured meat). Be cautious with street food and always check if tap water is used in food preparation in more rural areas. South African wines are world-renowned – see if your dinner menus include local wines to order or sample. Vegetarians should note that many traditional meals are meat-heavy, but larger cities offer diverse dining options.
