Important information:

1. Travel Insurance.

We highly recommend that you arrange your own travel insurance. Not only for your own peace of mind, but also to cover you in the event of possible tour cancellation, emergency evacuation, medical and repatriation expenses as well damage/loss/theft of your personal belongings, camera equipment, money and the like.

2. Contact detail.

It is important that you give me contact detail of your next of kin or a friend whom I could contact in the event of an emergency. This detail you can give me on the Booking Form that I will forward to you.

3. Passports/Visas/Vaccinations.

- Please note that Africa Tours and Safaris cannot be held responsible for any of the above.
- Passports need to be valid for at least 6 months from date of departure from Namibia/Botswana etc … in other words, the date you end your holiday.
- For parents travelling with children under the age of 18 into or out of South Africa – you need to have the child’s full un-abridged birth certificate with you when entering South-Africa. This is a new law in South-Africa since June 2015. See this link for more information.
- Please check on the internet or an Embassy whether you require a VISA to be arranged in advance or whether you can obtain it at point of entry. In some cases, it can take up to 3 months for Visas to be issued so please do not leave this to the last minute. Please note that we cannot arrange Visas from our side as the application requires your signature as well as the actual passport to be endorsed.
- The same applies to any possible vaccinations. Your doctor should be able to advise you.

4. Some tips and requests.

- Please ensure your consultant has your phone number, preferably a local cellular number.
- Satellite phones are available for rental so if required, please request one when making your reservation.
- Bag types and sizes for local flights … bags to be soft type as luggage bays of small aircraft cannot hold large melamine type bags. If bag sizes and weights do not comply, extra charges could incur.
- Luggage weight limitation is vital for your own safety … if luggage weight exceeds limits, some luggage will be unpacked and extra costs could incur.
- Stick to speed limits as speeding is not only breaking the law, but also negates/cancels any insurance claims and should there be an accident, you will be liable for 100% of repair costs.
