Useful advice for safari travelers
Make sure your passport is up to date and is valid for at least six months after your
intended return date to your country of origin.
You will need blank pages in your passport. If you are cross border traveling you
should aim to have at least two blank pages left by the time your full holiday is finaly completed.
When you purchase travel insurance declare what your activities will be and understand
the limitations in your policy before you travel.
Check if the country you are traveling to requires that each visitor requires a visa.
There are quite often different visa regulations for visitors from different countries.
Be warned you will not pass through any immigration or border posts without the correct documents.
Check if the region you are traveling to is malaria free. If not don't take
a chance, know when you should start your anti malaria treatment well in advance before the start of your holiday.
Always drink water from a reliable source. If you are not sure boil the
water first. Carry ample water and food in your vehicle in case of delays or breakdowns. If hiring a 4x4 vehicle check that there is a full tool kit and spare. For remote trips you will need more than just normal kit. In some areas your cell/mobile phone will be useless as there is no signal or service.
National park rules are there to protect visitors, animal and the environment.
Respect the land. Under no circumstances leave litter. Major damage to the park and
serious injuries to animals can be caused by just a carelessly discarded bottle or can.
Finally there is no one more qualified than the official guides and rangers in the
national parks. Listen to their advice and ask your questions.
The experience of an African safari is unique and one that will stay with you for ever.
Prepare well and the African Safari will be the most memorable trip in your lifetime.
