SAFETY INFORMATION<br />
• Avoid carrying large sums of cash, carrying cameras<br />
or video cameras in plain sight and leaving<br />
belongings unattended.<br />
• Heed the advice of your hosts, <strong>Cape</strong> <strong>Town</strong> <strong>Tourism</strong><br />
Visitor Centre staff or locals on where to go after dark.<br />
Try not to walk alone and take special precautions at<br />
lonely lookout points, especially at dusk or after dark.<br />
• Do not allow strangers to assist you at ATMs in<br />
any way.<br />
• Street children and beggars may approach you for<br />
a handout. Many social workers counsel against<br />
giving money to the children as it usually gets handed<br />
over to an older person or is used to purchase drugs.<br />
If you wish to do good, rather give food, donate your<br />
change to a registered charity, or contact <strong>Cape</strong> <strong>Town</strong><br />
<strong>Tourism</strong> for advice.<br />
• At night, park in a secure, well-lit area.<br />
