2017 - APT Africa

90 | FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Tips and information about your African safari with APT. GENERAL QUESTIONS Do I require visas for travel in Africa? People of all nationalities will need to contact the relevant consulates or your travel agent for the most up-to-date information on visa requirements. At the time of printing, Australian passport holders are required to obtain appropriate tourist visas before they depart for entry into Kenya and Tanzania. What level of physical fitness do I need to have? Our tours throughout Africa are not physically demanding, however our 4WD safaris and tours cover areas of rough terrain. For this reason, anyone with back conditions or limited mobility should consult their doctor before travel. Walking tours are often on uneven ground and dust can irritate contact lenses, so we recommend bringing glasses with you. What clothing do I need to bring with me? During your tour throughout Africa temperatures will generally be mild. However, heading out on morning and evening game drives it can be considerably cooler. We suggest you pack multiple layers of clothing to ensure you stay comfortable. For walking, bring comfortable shoes. There is no need to bring heavy boots on safari. DO I NEED TO BE VACCINATED BEFORE I TRAVEL? Yellow Fever vaccination is required for those travelling to Tanzania and Kenya. Please note that Australian authorities require that travellers who have visited Africa hold valid Yellow Fever certificates upon re-entry. Anti-malaria medication is recommended for those travelling to Africa. Be sure to speak to your doctor or visit a travel clinic at least eight to ten weeks before departing to discuss your recommended vaccines and malaria medication. HOW MUCH LUGGAGE CAN WE TRAVEL WITH TO AFRICA? South Africa Luggage for all internal flights is limited to 20kg, and can be packed in a bag of your choice. Kenya & Tanzania Due to the smaller aircrafts and 4WD vehicles, passengers will need to reduce their luggage weight to a maximum of 15kg and pack luggage into a soft bag. Namibia Luggage for all internal flights is limited to 10kg and must be packed in a soft bag (not provided). Excess luggage can be stored at Windhoek.
