VISA, PASSPORTS AND TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
Many visas for countries in East Africa and Southern Africa can be obtained at the border. Some visas can be obtained online, so it is essential that you check the visa requirements of every country you are visiting in Africa, as visa formalities can change overnight.
Passports
For all countries we feature, you will need a valid passport which is valid for six months in excess of the date of your planned departure from the country. You should also ensure that you have a minimum of TWO blank pages in your passport for each time that you will pass through an international border in your itinerary.
Obtaining Visas
If travelling on a New Zealand passport, visas for most destinations in East and Southern Africa can be obtained online prior to travel. We provide all guests travelling with us with detailed visa information, including which visas are required for their itinerary and step-by-step instructions on the application process.
If booking a safari with African Safaris Ltd we will advise you of what visas are required and the application process.
