Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Visa Traveling to South Africa?
A USA citizen traveling from Wisconsin as a tourist to South Africa does not require a visa for travel.
Is it safe to travel to Africa?
If you follow these guidelines you will feel totally safe. Some areas you visit will be quite poor by our standards and it is thoughtless to flash money or jewelry. Leave jewelry at home and carry only small amounts of cash. Leave valuables and passports in the hotel safes or with camp managers.
Our Africa based travel partners (tour operators and hotels/lodges) provide us with a strong presence in Africa. Our local offices in Africa provide 24-hour emergency assistance and having personnel on hand to deal with any issues that may arise, our clients can feel safe and secure in travelling with us.
Throughout your trip, you will find the people very friendly, helpful, and eager to please. The beauty and tranquility of the land, the magnificent wildlife, and the hospitality of the people will all contribute to the memories that will stay with you forever.
What kind of food can I expect to eat?
The food in Africa is generally excellent. In South Africa, Mozambique, Seychelles and Mauritius expect excellent seafood. South Africa has great chefs with world class restaurants, and meals are similar to what you would expect in the US. Produce is fresh and locally grown. In East Africa, meals at the lodges are often served buffet style, providing lots of options for all dietary preferences.
