Excursions
Excursions greatly enhance your African experience, offering a variety of activities such as bush dinners, village visits, cooking classes, nature walks, boat, and balloon rides. Many hotels feature these options on their website, or your expert guide can also arrange them during your stay.
Travel Visas
Navigating visa application websites can be challenging. Allow ample time for the process and remember to capture screenshots of any confirmations. Utilize software such as Photoshop, GIMP, or Paint (for PC users) to resize documents as needed. Stay calm and focused.
Safty
The U.S. State Department provides valuable travel resources including visa information, vaccination requirements, natural disaster alerts, political updates, and trip registration with the embassy.
Health
Refer to the CDC website for updated vaccination guidelines and to locate a Yellow Fever provider near you.
Tips on Tipping
Determine the amount of cash to bring before your departure using the chart below. Given the inflationary conditions in East Africa, it is advisable to carry US dollars for easier tipping, as relatively small amounts of money may result in bulky stacks of bills. Bring an ample supply of $1 bills as change may not be readily available. Additionally, it is recommended to carry bills newer than 2013.
