Travel Tips
Hydrate Staying hydrated is important throughout the year, but is more critical during the hot temperatures as fluids are lost through perspiration. Always keep water with you and drink it often – you can also infuse your water with fruit, which is a perfect summer drink. Consuming foods with high water content such as watermelon and cucumber can also help to keep you hydrated.
Travelling with kids
• • • •
Make it an adventure with kid-friendly pit stops. Take lots of snacks. Give the kids a task such as taking photographs. Take some games along to keep them entertained.
mySOS SA
The mySOS SA mobile app provides users access to the closest, most appropriate emergency numbers for ambulances, fire and police services, national sea rescue, stroke and poison centres and roadside assistance. The one-button emergency activation also automatically notifies your contacts about the incident and your current GPS location.
Limit sun exposure The sun is the most damaging between 10am and 4pm. If you are out and about during this time, wear sunscreen, cover-up, and try to stay in shaded areas and drink lots of water. Wear a wide brimmed hat as opposed to a cap which leaves your neck exposed.
