If you have any feedback on how we can make our new website better please do contact us. We would like to hear from you.
PASSPORTS
All passports must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the end of the trip.
Your passport must be carried with you at all times unless you are within the grounds of the lodge.
I photocopy my passport and leave a copy at home as well as copies in different parts of my luggage - this applies to all other documents including travel insurance etc.
VISAS
Visas are not necessary for UK passport holders at the moment on any of my trips.
If this changes I will inform everyone on the trip.
Non-UK citizens (European and US citizens etc.) should seek advice from their own consulate.
INSURANCE
Travel Insurance is essential for all these trips but is not included in the price of the trip.
A copy of your travel insurance will be required for my records nearer to the departure date.
I am now able to arrange a comprehensive travel insurance for any of the trips advertised on this website.
MEDICAL
SPECIAL MEDICATION AND JABS
Doctors surgeries do not seem to have the wall charts, that they used to, with all the different requirements for the different countries as they are continuously changing.
However advice can be obtained from MASTA (Medical Advisory Services for Travellers Abroad) www.masta.org
Outline details are:-
About 2 months before traveling contact MASTA on 09068 224100 (charged at 60p/min calls last about 5 minutes) or fill in a form online.
They send you the report within 7 days.
You should then make an appointment with your own doctor (take the report with you) to have the relevant immunisations
These are only outline details. I suggest you get in touch with your own Doctor first to confirm what is required as soon as possible so as to be fully prepared
People travelling from countries other than the UK I recommend that you contact your own Doctor well in advance of travelling as some medication requires starting prior to travelling.
GENERAL FIRST AID
There are generally lots of mosquitoes on most of our trips so anti-mosi spray and afterbite are recommended.
Anti-mosi spray with Deet in although very good can cause corosive damage to plastics as on camera and video equipment so I use a non-deet brand.
I always carry a small well equipped first aid kit but you are welcome to take your own.
First aid as well as anti-venoms are available at all lodges.
