Africa Travel Tips

What to Know Before You Go

💉
Vaccinations — Book Early
Many countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination, and antimalarial medication is recommended for safari zones. Consult a travel health clinic 4–6 weeks before departure.
🛂
Visas — Vary Widely by Country
Some countries offer visa on arrival or eVisa; others require advance applications. Kenya and Tanzania share the East Africa Tourist Visa — one permit, multiple countries. Always double-check before you travel.
🦁
Safari — Go in the Dry Season
In the dry season, wildlife gathers at water sources and is far easier to spot. Book lodges and tours well in advance — especially for the Great Migration (Jul–Oct).
💵
Money — Carry US Dollars
USD is widely accepted in tourist areas and needed for visa fees. Credit cards work at larger hotels and lodges, but rural areas are strictly cash-only.
☀️
Sun and Dust — Come Prepared
The sun is intense and the air is dry. Pack high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and long-sleeved shirts. Early morning and evening game drives can get surprisingly cold — bring a light layer.
🏨
Accommodation — Match Your Trip Style
Safari lodges inside national parks and city hotels vary enormously in price. Compare rates on Agoda and Booking.com and book ahead to secure the best deals.
