As mentioned in my article hitchiking, it is advisable not to hitch in South Africa. Safety and crime is a huge problem in the country, and although I don't every want to turn tourists away from visiting one of the most beautiful countries in the world, one needs to be an informed traveller. There is a vast array of public transport options to choose from, as well as specifically tourist buses and trains. Air, rail and road transport, especially for long distance travel, is excellent and safe, and will only get better with the 2010 World Cup fast approaching. Save your hitch hiking adventures for further north.
