Travel Essentials
Passport Validity
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of entry into Africa and contain at least two blank visa pages per country visited.
Health & Vaccinations
Yellow fever vaccination is required if arriving from an endemic country. Anti-malarial medication is recommended for safari regions. Consult a travel clinic 4–6 weeks before departure.
Flights & Baggage
Schedule soft-sided luggage for light aircraft transfers (typically 15kg incl. carry-on). We handle all charter and scheduled flight logistics for you.
Currency & Payments
USD is widely accepted in East and Southern Africa. Local currency (ZAR, Pula, Kwacha) is useful for tips and curios. Cards accepted at all luxury lodges; carry cash for remote areas.
Power & Connectivity
South Africa uses Type M (220V). East Africa uses Type G. Most luxury lodges offer universal plugs and charging facilities in tents/rooms.
Travel Insurance
Comprehensive travel insurance covering medical evacuation is mandatory for all safari itineraries — we recommend arranging this at the time of booking.
Best Time to Visit
Dry season (May–October) offers peak game viewing. Green season (Nov–April) is lush, less crowded and ideal for birding and photography.
Staying Connected
Most lodges have Wi-Fi. A local SIM or eSIM (Vodacom, MTN, Safaricom) is recommended for remote connectivity; we can arrange this on arrival.
