South Africa-specific troubleshooting
Things that can go wrong in South Africa.
- Kruger National Park has 4G at most camps (Skukuza, Lower Sabie, Satara, Olifants). Deep bush drives have gaps.
- Garden Route has full coverage the whole way from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town.
- Load shedding — scheduled power outages — can temporarily take down cell towers. Check the EskomSePush app for schedules.
