Fiji does exhibit some socio-political tension and visitors
need to be vigilant and avoid political rallies and public
demonstrations. On 5 December 2006 the military moved into Suva,
and took over the running of the country in what was the fourth
coup in 20 years. Visitors are advised to keep up to date with the
current situation and avoid all large gatherings of people. The
uncertain political situation, poor economic climate and
unemployment mean the crime rate is high and it is unwise to carry
large amounts of cash or wear expensive clothes or jewellery.
Pickpockets are active at bus stations and taxi ranks and women on
their own should be cautious. There has been an increase in the
number of violent robberies, which have occurred against
foreigners, particularly at night and in urban areas. Natural
dangers exist in the form of rip tides along the reefs and river
estuaries and care should be taken when swimming or boating. There
is also the possibility of shark attacks. On the roads reckless
driving is common and animals on the road pose a hazard,
particularly after dark. Cyclone season is usually from November to
April.
