Getting there
Cape Town International Airport (CPT) is located approximately 20 km east of the city centre, with a typical transfer time of 20–30 minutes via the N2 highway. Uber, Bolt, authorised metered taxis, the MyCiTi A01 bus route, and pre-booked shuttle services all operate from the airport; use only authorised transport providers from the designated pickup areas.
Visa
Canadian passport holders do not need a visa for a short professional training trip to South Africa; the South African visa-free allowance for Canadian citizens is up to 90 days for business or tourism, provided the passport is valid for at least 30 days after departure and has two consecutive blank visa pages.
Safety
Use reputable transport services (Uber, Bolt, or pre-arranged hotel transfers), keep valuables out of sight, and stay aware of your surroundings — especially in crowded tourist areas. Store passport originals in your hotel safe and carry certified copies; for emergencies dial 112 from a mobile phone or contact the National Tourism Safety Line on 083 123 2345.
