1. PASSPORTS AND VISAS
• Make sure that your passport is valid for at least six months past your planned date of return.
• For visa information please visit the website or your nearest embassy office of the countries you plan to visit.
2. HEALTH
Vaccinations: Specific vaccinations (e.g. yellow fever) are required for travel to several African destinations. Please consult your doctor or travel medicine clinic for advice on which vaccinations are best for you. Note that some vaccinations must be done quite some time in advance of your travel departure date.
3. FOREIGN CURRENCY PURCHASES
Foreign Currency in Cash: Currency exchange offices can assist with all foreign exchange purchases. The rates are updated almost on a daily basis. Requirements to receive foreign exchange are your passport and/or your air ticket in some countries.
4. SEATING
Remember to advise the travel consultant if you have a preferred flight seating request. However, these, unfortunately, cannot be guaranteed.
5. SPEACIAL MEALS
Remember to advise the travel consultant if you have a preferred meal request for flights.
6. BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE
Make sure that you do not pack more luggage then is allowed per your class of travel and baggage restriction of the airline, including for hand luggage. Domestic flights may have different restrictions than international flights.

Most airport departure taxes are paid for when purchasing your air ticket but there are still some countries where the departure tax is payable in cash when you leave that country. Make sure you’ve got enough local currency to pay it.
