Very! Just be cautious as usual. Knysna is very safe but obviously just don’t go alone in unknown areas etc. I have lived there for quite a few years and have never felt unsafe once as the town feels like a little coastal holiday town with no big city worries.

Hi! I’m Lauren. I’m currently on a gap year in the UK and am from South Africa. I am planning on traveling to different countries in Europe throughout the year and would love to meet some likeminded people my age to share the experience with!

Hey, I am Clara :) I have lived in South Africa for 11 years, since I moved here with my family in my early teens. I was born in Germany. I love communities and their special dynamics, meeting local people and experiencing different cultures.
