Please ensure that you have a valid passport with enough blank pages in it and all the necessary visas prior to departure (unless available on entry), and review general travel advice.

 

Visa information

 

Depending on your nationality, you may find information on visa requirements on the following web sites:

 

• PassportsAndVisas.com on Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa.

• ProjectVisa.com on Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa or another African country.

 

Although these web sites claim to be permanently updated, Touch Nature cannot ensure that the information they provide will be valid at the time of travel. Visa requirements can change overtime from country to country so please take the necessary time to double-check this information with your agent or nearest embassy/consulate again before departure. Neither Touch Nature, their staff, their agents nor their operators can be held liable for any errors, and such shortcomings may be difficult to handle on the spot.

 

Travelling from or through South Africa

 

Guests who are not permanent residents of the Republic of South Africa (R.S.A) and travelling through R.S.A. must make sure that they carry either an onward ticket from South Africa or sufficient funds to purchase such ticket in order to comply with South African immigration regulations.

 

Please note that you must bring your air ticket with you on safari or you may be refused re-entry into South Africa. South African citizens travelling on a foreign passport require an exit permit to leave South Africa. Please also note that any passengers requiring a visa for South Africa, regardless of residence status, must carry a re-entry visa to get back into the R.S.A.
