1 mission of South Africa in Luxembourg: Consulate of South Africa in Luxembourg Ville, Luxembourg. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr. C Cravat, Honorary Consul (as listed in the diplomatic list of South Africa, 15 Jan 2025)
South Africa offers a diverse and culturally rich experience, making it an appealing destination for some travelers from Luxembourg. With 1.8 million Luxembourgers traveling abroad annually, a portion may find South Africa an attractive option despite recent fluctuations in tourism.
South Africa's safety for tourists, including those from Luxembourg, presents significant concerns. While Luxembourg is considered relatively safe, ranking 27th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, South Africa ranks 125th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index. Crime statistics highlight a stark contrast: Luxembourg has a murder rate of 0.6 per 100,000 people, whereas South Africa's rate is alarmingly high at 41.9. Additionally, the Global Organized Crime Index indicates severe issues in South Africa, with high scores across various crime categories, such as mafia groups (7.0), crime networks (7.0), and arms trafficking (8.0). Overall, while tourists can enjoy South Africa's rich culture and landscapes, they should remain vigilant and informed about safety risks.
