Hello,

I am planning a trip to South Africa during the last two weeks of December '09. I can't find anyone to go with me, so I am going to travel solo. I come from Southern California, so I am not paranoid, but is it fairly safe traveling alone? Can I use the same common sense as I would in Los Angeles and be okay?

My initial destination will be Cape Town, where I will hire a car and hit the road. Are accomodations/fuel/food/etc. difficult to find during the Christmas holidays?

Thank you
