South Africa is "on the road to tourism recovery", and is ready to welcome would-be visitors keen to "seize the opportunity to visit after a difficult year".

Ramothea said South Africa was ready to welcome UK travellers back

That was the message from Kgomotso Ramothea, South African Tourism acting hub head UK and Ireland, after South African president Cyril Ramaphosa confirmed on Wednesday (16 September) the country would reopen its borders to tourists from 1 October.


The country is preparing to reduce its Covid lockdown alert level to its lowest level from Sunday (20 September) following a "significant decrease in infections".
