Predeparture Information
We’re confident that you have chosen one of the best adventure tour companies in Africa and we will go out of our way to prove it. Nomad’s tours have been enjoyed by thousands of people from all over the world. A great attitude, an open mind and being well-prepared ensures that your adventure holiday is a trip of a lifetime.
Keep in mind that you are in Africa. Standards and services should not be compared with first world countries. You came here to get away from all that – to experience Africa as it really is. The unexpected is included in your tour – free of charge!
We will provide you with as much information about our tours as possible but please feel free to contact us directly if there is anything specific at all that you’d like more information on.
Visa
Very important!
As visa requirements vary considerably depending on your nationality, please contact the various embassies or visa service agencies to re-check visa requirements at least four weeks prior to departing for your tour. Please note that visas are the responsibility of the traveller and that Zazu Africa Safaris will not be held responsible for clients being denied entry should they not be in the possession of the relevant visas.
All travellers must be in possession of a valid onward/return air ticket or proof of other means of transport enabling the traveller to leave the country in which your adventure tour terminates. Alternatively you must have proof of sufficient funds (e.g. credit card) enabling you to purchase an air ticket to leave the country. Should the adventure tour you are joining be re-entering a country, be sure to have a multiple entry visa that enables you to re-enter the country.
Visa regulations in Africa change from time to time. Please contact the embassies of the countries you plan to visit on your Zazu Africa Tour. Arranging VISAS is not our specialty and due to this we do not always have the most updated information as these regulations change regularly. We suggest that you contact Relocation Online (www.relocation-online.com) who will be able to provide accurate information or alternatively check with the local embassy.
Your Passport
Your passport must have enough pages for all visas, at least 2 pages free for every country that you’ll be visiting. Please ensure that you take your passport out from your hotel / backpackers safe the night before departure. We recommend that you also leave a copy at home or with some friends. Another good idea would be to take a photo of your passport, and the contents, and email it to yourself.
Please ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months after your date of departure from Africa.
You are personally responsible for ensuring that passports, visas, vaccination certificates and other travel documents are in order and for all costs relating thereto. Please note that it is not advisable to use more than one passport (to avoid visa payments) when travelling. When entering (for example) Uganda, the immigration official needs to see the exit stamp for Kenya and it must be in the same passport in order to allow entry.
