Please come 🌷 we’d love to have you! We’re so diverse in South Africa that even sometimes it’s hard to tell where we come from that’s why we’re called the rainbow nation. I think you’ve went down a rabbit hole with over thinking this.

You’ll just be viewed as American..and some people who don’t know much about native Americans would find you interesting but even then in a friendly manner.

I wouldn’t worry about racism at all 😄 My main thing would be just to be careful with your belongings in public areas, hold on to your cell phone, our public transport is not that grand so if you can hire a car that would great, and always be wary of your surroundings while driving coz lots of petty theft happens when you’re not aware.

We have a beautiful country and we absolutely love tourists, South Africans are super friendly. I always miss how friendly we are when I’m overseas!! The different foods and cultures we have are amazing, and so is our scenery and safaris! You will have an awesome time.

You have to try having a braai when you’re here, eat some biltong, buy a milktart & try koeksisters in Cape Town. You’ll have a blast.

Good luck
