The United Cricket Board of South Africa will send security experts to Pakistan before the team's tour later this month after government warnings about safety in some areas of the country.
"The delegation will go through the South African security arrangements with the PCB and with the Pakistani police," UCBSA communications director Bronwyn Wilkinson said on Wednesday.
South Africa are playing four one-day matches and three Tests between September 24 and October 27.
South Africa's foreign affairs ministry has advised the UCB to avoid sending Graeme Smith's team to Karachi, Peshawar and towns near Pakistan's border with Afghanistan.
Karachi is scheduled to host two one-day matches and a Test, while a Test is to be played in Peshawar during the tour.
"We will still need advice from foreign affairs on whether they want us to go at all or to avoid Karachi and Peshawar, or to go under special conditions," Wilkinson said.
