Through an immensely encouraging joint effort , over 10 nations in Southern and East Africa are ready for the international market since we entered into the Southern Hemisphere summer. Our borders are open to all nations, and we have seen a wonderful uptake in good standards of prevention and health protocols.

By default, these nations have very low infection rates, because we are nations with low population densities in our tourism regions, and travel is traditionally out of cities into remote safari reserves, national parks and open sky country.

We are mindful of the extra caution that travelers may have during this time, and hence we would like to reassure you on four important points :

• Many suppliers, hotels and safari lodges have very friendly cancellation terms if you should test positive prior to your trip, or your nation’s  lockdown policies impacts your plans to travel.
• Discounts and special offers are widely available , and using our years of relationships with suppliers, we regularly negotiate on your behalf for the best value.
• As tourism reliant nations, we maintain high international standards of health protocols around sanitization, masks, social distancing.
• As a rule, the majority of the nations simply require a negative Covid 19 test to enter a country, no quarantine period, and if your home nation requires a new test before returning, there is ample first world standard private medical labs that conduct the PCR test in the final few days before your return flight.

Do not hesitate to speak to us during the planning of your trip, to understand how many of our safaris are in fact highly desirable forms of healthy travel in the “new normal” that enables privacy, low concentrations of guest numbers, smaller resorts/ lodges and hotels and even private villa rentals,  and a move towards much less “mass tourism” than you might be used to in other parts of the world.
