Since holiday and safari destinations in Africa are very popular and sometimes fully booked, you may not be able to be accommodated without a booking. Always book in advance to avoid disappointment.
Booking with us is easy!
Be sure to have the following documents ready: your passport (for overseas visitors) / South African ID.
Guests are advised to take precautions, malaria prophylaxis is recommended, but please talk to one of our agents for more information. We also offer numerous safari options in non-malarial areas.
Africa is truly a year-round destination for safari travel. No matter when you are planning to travel, you will find a place in Africa that is perfect for that time of year. Generally, though, dry season is the best time for game-viewing—and this takes place at slightly different times in different parts of Africa. For East Africa, the dry season is generally from July through October, while in Southern Africa it is a little longer: April through October. Please keep in mind that these are the peak seasons, so it is essential that you book well in advance during these months.
Our itineraries vary in length, distance covered, and focus. Some (such as in our scuba safari South Africa, Mozambique and Botswana) are more wildlife-intensive, while some have a more balanced view of African cities, wildlife and landscapes (such as in Cape Town South Africa).
Visas for entry into Zimbabwe and Zambia can be obtained upon arrival. For European Union and U.S. passport holders, visas are not required for travel to South Africa, Botswana. Mozambique visa can be done online and at most border crossing for roughly 60 Euros.
Information on how to obtain your visas as well as a “links” will be sent to you in plenty of time to obtain your visas before your departure. We will work with travellers who are not U.S. or Canadian citizens to obtain visa information specific to your citizenship.
Southern Africa experiences more noticeable changes in its seasons. April through November is winter—when daytime temperatures are a fresh 60-75 degrees with little rain. During the height of Southern Africa’s summer (December through March), temperatures are warmer and some rain may fall, making the bush lush and green. Every season, whether slightly warmer or cooler, offers thoroughly agreeable weather for all safari activities.
Generally, you should count on early mornings and evenings on safari to be chillier than expected throughout Africa—especially if travelling during May, June, July and August when you’ll be quite happy to have packed a heavy fleece or lined jacket.
Upon booking your safari, you’ll receive documents that include a complete packing list. Suffice it to say, though, that your clothing should be comfortable and casual. Khaki, olive, brown and tan clothing increases your chances of seeing wildlife and offers the added benefit of concealing dirt. Since laundry service will be available in many of the places we visit, you should avoid the temptation to over-pack (and anyway, in most of Africa you will have a luggage weight limit of 33 pounds).
