Driving in Bolivia awful, Brazil not too bad. I did the other countries (and much of Bolivia) by public transport/hitching. Driving in South Africa not an issue at all - think Europe with less traffic. If he's worried about health, travel etc this would be my choice. Yes the townships are scary, but you won't be there. I have taken by son three times and my daughter twice. My son was three on our first visit. I wouldn't take risks with them. Malaysia I have mainly done on public transport - although that'll change next year -  but when I did hire a car it was fine. well apart from getting stopped for speeding about an hour after picking it up!</blockquote>
