Travelling to South Africa
Roameo's South Africa eSIM connects to the national 4G/5G networks, which are genuinely good across Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Gqeberha, along the N1, N2 and N3 and through the Garden Route towns. Kruger's rest camps and main gates have service; the deeper game-drive loops and the private reserves in the Waterberg and Kalahari do not, and the Drakensberg valleys and the Wild Coast are patchy. One local reality worth planning for: scheduled power cuts can take mobile towers offline in an area for hours, and that hits every network, roaming or local — a power bank is not optional here. Local SIMs require RICA registration with a passport and proof of address; a roaming eSIM has none of that. Data-only, tethering supported.
