A very big NB, for tourists coming to South Africa is the recent enforcement of a bizarre passport regulation.
The rules state that visitors are required to have, not one, but two blank pages in your passport on arrival in South Africa.
A German tourist was sent home last month, after a 12 hour flight, because of this.
Please check you passports in good time before leaving so that you can either have pages added, or get a new passport to avoid huge disappointment and the consequences of bored bureaucrats.

I was checking in to a flight from Nairobi to SA this past january and I did not have 2 blank pages. They would not let me board the plane.
So I winged on over to the US embassy, got an insert with like 24 more pages in it, and boarded the next days plane. No worries.
All part of travel, but all things being equal, would rather of known this in advance. Thanks PB!
