A visit to South Africa requires a valid US Passport with 6-month validity past trip dates, and two blank pages in passport book.  VISA's are NOT required.  Vaccinations NOT required but visitors to Kruger National Park are encouraged to consult their health care providers regarding malaria prophylaxis.

Is This Trip Right for You?

Uniqueness of Destination: Only "nature toilets" are available during game drives. Short power outages are a regular occurrence in South Africa. Hotels in major cities are equipped with back-up generators so there are no interruptions to normal services, however hotels outside of major cities may have supplemental generators that provide electricity to only essential services.

Things to Consider: Expect several days with early mornings. This tour includes animal-related activities which carry inherent risks, as animal behavior can be unpredictable. You may choose not to participate. While the majority of South Africa is malaria-free, visitors to Kruger National Park are encouraged to consult their health care providers regarding malaria prophylaxis. We suggest you check with your health care provider before signing up for this tour.

Transportation: There is one day with over 5 hours of driving. Game drives will be conducted in small safari vehicles that cannot be air-conditioned and have elevated ground clearance that require enough agility to embark and disembark.

Pace: & Terrain: Expect 3-4 hours of walking on included sightseeing days, as well as considerable time standing. You may need to walk on uneven and challenging terrain, navigate steep steps or slopes, and encounter cobblestone streets.
