Please note that the South African Police Service does not support the practice of cruising primarily because it is dangerous. Nevertheless, the following safer cruising tips are recommended:

• If you are going to cruise, go to a club or bath house.
• If you insist in cruising in parks or public spots try to stay in well-lit areas.
• Always pay rent boys.
• As far as possible, let someone know where you are going.
• Choose a spot with a ready escape route.
• Regard all strangers with a healthy degree of suspicion.
• If you have suffered an attack call the police.
• Use a condom! South Africa has one of the highest HIV infection rates in the world.
