Africa is no more unsafe to travel in than most other continents around the globe and even though one might never encounter any problems, it is better to be on the safe side whenever you travel to a new destination.

Here are some helpful tips...

• Do not leave your luggage unattended and keep it within sight. 
• Try and avoid counting money in public.
• Southern Africa has well conditioned roads in most areas, but keep to the road signs and try not to take short cuts or lengthy detours.
• Plan your route for each day's travel the night before and leave an itinerary of such travel with someone at your hotel or lodge. Check back in with that person upon returning or when you arrive at your next destination.
• At night....stay within well lit areas and avoid following someone whom you don't know, anywhere, for any reason.
• Wallets & Cell phones should be carried on person and preferrably not in a bag. 
• Try and avoid wearing excessive jewelry in public and not carrying too many cameras & electronics around.
• Be aware of where you leave purses or bags.... Do not hang them from the back of chairs, under tables, on hooks in restrooms .  
• In South Africa - most of the National Roads (Interstates) are clearly marked on maps with a capitol "N" and in some cases are also Toll Roads, which are considered to be safer to travel by. Try to do all your driving in the daytime and spend evenings at your lodge, hotel or in well lit public places.
