Listed in the following sections are the best private hospitals and medical facilities along with the top pharmacy chains in the city.

Top Tips

01 It is critical to ensure you have the correct visa before you arrive as you will need to return home to make changes if you have the wrong visa.
02 Safety should be a top priority. Sign up with a good security company and ensure your home is fitted with the latest security equipment.
03 Wear sunglasses and sunscreen throughout the year. The UV rays in South Africa are extremely strong.
04 Be adventurous, not stupid. Whenever you go on a new hike or nature walk, do it with a local who knows the route and the time it takes to get back.
05 Follow the networking process. Join a few expatriate clubs. It’s a lot easier to travel the grapevine between social scenes than to jump into on
