Information on South Africa
South Africa offers a diverse range of attractions, from the iconic Table Mountain and Robben Island in Cape Town to the wildlife-rich Kruger National Park and the scenic Garden Route. The local currency is the South African rand (ZAR), and while credit cards are widely accepted, cash is still commonly used, especially in smaller towns. The cost of travel is generally affordable, with budget-friendly options available for accommodation, food, and activities. The weather varies by region: the coastal areas have mild, Mediterranean-like climates, while the inland areas can be hot and dry in summer and cooler in winter.
South Africa’s transport infrastructure is mixed in quality and convenience. Within cities, public transport is limited, with minibus taxis being common but often confusing for visitors; private cars or ride-hailing apps like Uber are more reliable. Between cities, domestic flights are the fastest option due to long distances, while intercity buses offer affordable travel, though journeys can be long. Trains exist, but are generally slow and not widely used for tourism.

Information on Seychelles
The Seychelles is an island nation in the Indian Ocean known for its pristine beaches, granite rock formations, and clear waters. Key sights include the UNESCO-listed Vallée de Mai on Praslin Island, Anse Lazio beach, and the capital city, Victoria, on Mahé. The local currency is the Seychellois rupee (SCR), and while some tourist spots accept euros or dollars, local payments are generally in rupees. Prices are relatively high compared to other destinations, especially for food, lodging, and imported goods. The climate is tropical and humid year-round, with average temperatures around 27°C and two main seasons: wetter from November to April and drier from May to October.
Getting around the Seychelles can be limited by its small size and island geography. On the main island, Mahé, public buses are cheap but infrequent and not always convenient for tourists. Taxis are available but expensive, and renting a car is often the easiest option. Inter-island travel typically requires short domestic flights or ferries, both of which can be pricey and sometimes disrupted by weather. Infrastructure is basic but generally reliable on the main islands.
