A friend has invited us to accompany him to South Africa in September. He’s not a birder, but would be willing for us to take some birding days while there. I believe he’s thinking he'll plan things himself rather than hire a tour guide/company. So, a couple
of questions for those who’ve been there in recent years:</div>

The State Department has some pretty unnerving risk alerts for SA, which make me wonder whether it’s actually a good destination in current times, or whether it’d be better to wait until it seems safer. If you’ve been there, either on your own or with a tour
company, I’d be interested to hear how safe you felt.</div>

In terms of birding, are there companies or guides you would recommend for outings?</div>
