General Information:
Dutch traders landed at the southern tip of modern day South Africa in 1652 and established a stopover point on the spice route between the Netherlands and the Far East, founding the city of Cape Town.
We at April Medibroker recommend that you obtain comprehensive medical insurance before travelling, including cover for medical evacuation. Hospital treatment in large cities of South Africa is good but can be expensive.
Medical facilities in rural areas can be basic. In remote areas, air evacuation is sometimes the only option for medical emergencies.
