Is retiring to Africa a wise decision?

[Kevin Peacocke]

Is it safe to drive around in RSA and Namibia and Zim? I kind of get the impression that it is reasonably safe to drive around in the day time but maybe not so much at night.

But maybe that's just Jburg.

The poblem with driving around Zimbabwe at night is more to do with accidents - broken down vehicles in the road, cars with no lights, or just one. Don't risk it.
For sue the probability of hijackigs and robberies increases at night too. That is not to say it is rampant, but crooks like darkness.

I have heard stories of roadblocks where you get extroted for bribes. But not experienced that when traveling with a PH.

Zimbabwe road blocks today are just a minor inconvenience. Today

Whatever you think it is going to cost you, double it.
