Before traveling, ensure your passport is valid for at least six months and check visa and entry requirements for your destination. Confirm flight details, accommodation, and transport in advance. Keep both digital and printed copies of important documents such as your passport, insurance, and tickets.
Visit a healthcare provider before travel to confirm required and recommended vaccinations. Carry essential medications, a basic first-aid kit, and any prescriptions. Drink safe water, eat properly prepared food, and follow local health guidance during your stay.
Stay alert and aware of your surroundings at all times. Avoid displaying valuables in public and use reputable transport providers. Keep emergency contacts saved on your phone and follow advice from local authorities and guides.
We recommend informing your bank prior to travel to prevent any potential card restrictions while abroad. It is advisable to carry a combination of cash and debit/credit cards for convenience. Currency exchange should only be conducted at authorized and reputable exchange points. Please ensure you have small denominations available for daily expenses and gratuities. Kindly note that we only accept U.S. dollar notes issued from 2009 onwards. Exchange rates may vary depending on the denomination and condition of the notes.
Use licensed taxis, trusted drivers, or recommended transport services for safe and reliable travel. We highly recommend booking your transfers and safari transportation with Insitu Safaris for professional drivers, well-maintained vehicles, and seamless travel experiences. When using public transport, keep your belongings secure and plan routes in advance. Allow extra time for travel delays and checkpoints.
Stay connected by using international roaming, local SIM cards, or eSIM services. Save important contacts, download offline maps, and carry a power bank to keep your devices charged.
Respect local customs, traditions, and dress codes. Always ask permission before taking photos of people or cultural sites. Learning a few basic local phrases helps create positive interactions.
In case of emergency, contact local emergency services immediately. Keep your embassy or consulate details, insurance contacts, and emergency numbers easily accessible throughout your trip.
