3. Entry requirements

No visa required for UK passport holders for stays of less than 90 days. It's probably wise to have at three months passport validity at the time of entry.

Other requirements:

At least two blank passport pages
Sufficient day-to-day funds for the duration
Return or onward ticket
Yellow fever certificate if applicable

4. Customs

Import information: https://south-africa.visahq.com/customs/

Notably cheese is a significant problem. Pre-imported supplies are available nearby and may even be trucked in by the conference organisers.
