Everything you need for stress-free travel
Stay connected across South Africa
Coverage is fast and reliable in Cape Town, Johannesburg, the Winelands and along the Garden Route, connecting through an established South African network. In the game reserves signal is patchy and often limited to the lodges, so keep offline maps for safari and long drives.

The questions everyone asks us
Using an eSIM in South Africa
A South Africa eSIM covers the range of a classic trip, from Cape Town and the Garden Route to the safari parks. In the cities and along the main routes you get fast, reliable data as you land, while out in the bush coverage naturally thins, which is part of being on safari.
Cities, the Garden Route and the bush
Cape Town, Johannesburg, the Winelands and the Garden Route are well covered. In the game reserves, from Kruger to the private reserves, signal is patchy and often limited to the lodges, so download offline maps and enjoy the game drives without a screen. On long drives between regions, expect quieter stretches too.
How much data
A week of maps, messaging and photos is often around 5-10GB, with two weeks nearer 10-20GB. Frequent streaming or hotspot use needs more. These are starting points, and actual use varies.
Travel eSIM FAQs
Top-up availability depends on the plan. Some eSIMs can be topped up, including certain unlimited plans, while others may require a new plan once the current one ends or runs out. Check the individual plan details for your selected option.
