North South Backpackers is a quiet staff-run backpackers that also runs a tour booking business to arrange for common tours around Pretoria, to Joburg/Soweto and Kruger National Park. It is a fairly bland place in comparison to the other backpackers in the city and there have been numerous reports of theft--everything from laundry hanging out to dry to high-value items such as laptops. Rumors indicate the thefts may be inside jobs.
