Frequently asked questions

Does eSIM work in South Africa?

Yes — Simply eSIMs run on South Africa’s 4G networks covering the cities and tourist routes. Install before you fly and activate on landing in Cape Town or Johannesburg in seconds.

Does it work in Kruger during the safari?

Coverage is good at Kruger’s main rest camps and on the paved roads, fading in the deep bush — as it does for every network there. Your safari clips will upload when you return to camp in the evening.

Does my primary number keep working during the trip?

Yes — your primary SIM stays in place and receives calls and bank verification texts as usual, while your data flows through the travel eSIM.

How much data do I need for a safari and Garden Route trip?

Budget 1-2 GB per day for typical use — uploading high-quality safari video eats more, so pick a comfortable plan. You can top up from the app anytime.
