    Editorial notice

    This is general public-knowledge framing from FCDO and State Department travel advice. Field reports change rapidly. Verify with the latest UK FCDO and US State Department advisories.

    Solo female travel is workable but requires more care than most other African volunteer destinations. Cape Town and Stellenbosch tourist areas are easier than Johannesburg. Standard precautions in urban areas; verify accommodation and transport protocols carefully.
