What to have ready before your flight to Africa π¦π¦π
When we confirm your safari, here's everything we make sure you have before you board.
- Full itinerary with specific lodge names and realistic drive times between stops
- Your operator's 24/7 on-the-ground emergency number, not just the main office line
- Travel insurance confirmation with medical evacuation coverage specifically included
- Visa and entry requirements for every country on your route
- A medical brief: vaccinations required, active prescriptions, and the nearest clinic to each camp
If you're traveling during migration season, we'll add a sixth item: which side of the Mara River your camp sits on, and your guide's protocol for river crossing radio updates. That detail shapes your entire time at the Mara.
Comment PLANNING below, and we'll send you our free safari planning guide straight to your DMs. It walks through the full process, start to finish. π
