Whether you are visiting Cape Town for the first time or have been here multiple times, safety is always a concern. Here are some tips to ensure that you stay safe and enjoy your Cape Town holiday.

1. Avoid traveling alone in unsafe areas
   Although Cape Town is a relatively safe city, it is still wise to avoid traveling alone at night. Always travel in a large group if possible, during your Cape Town holidays.
   
   
2. Always keep your valuables close to you
   Never leave valuables in your hotel room, and always keep your cell phone on you at all time, even when you are on the beach.
   
   
3. Avoid walking alone at night
   Avoid walking alone at night in unsafe neighborhoods. Stick to well-lit roads and if possible, stick to main roads with lots of people.
   
   
4. Take a cab via Uber app
   If you are traveling at night, take a cab instead of walking. Uber is the cheapest option if you are traveling in a group.
