Your operator will give you trip-specific advice. These are the general things most travellers need to check early.
Paperwork
- A passport valid for the period required by your destination, with blank pages.
- Visa requirements for each country you will enter. Check them with the official source for your nationality.
- Travel insurance that covers medical care and your planned activities.
Health
Speak to a doctor or travel clinic well before you travel about vaccinations and malaria prevention. Requirements depend on where you are going and where you are coming from.
Packing
- Neutral clothing in layers, since mornings can be cold and days hot.
- A hat, sunscreen and sunglasses.
- Comfortable closed shoes.
- Binoculars and a camera with spare memory and batteries.
- Any medication you need, in its original packaging.
ImportantOfficial requirements change. Always confirm visa, health and entry rules with the relevant authorities before you travel.
