Travel Health Requirements:
All visitors should be medically insured.
We recommend that visitors to Zimbabwe take malaria prophylactics.
Tetanus, polio, typhoid and hepatitis vaccinations are recommended.
Please make sure you check with your local Health Authorities for the latest health updates and warnings.
It is advisable to know your blood group type in case of emergency.

Insurance:
We ask that full insurance is put in place at point of confirmation. We highly recommend that every guest has insurance that covers the following as a minimum:
Cancellation and curtailment.
Medical costs (including full hospital costs should it be needed)
Personal accident or death
Emergency evacuation from the point of evacuation to the nearest best hospital and then back to the guest’s hometown.
Family or travelling partner should also be covered for accompanying an evacuation. We cannot emphasize how important it is to be fully covered. Private hospitals in Africa will not accept a patient until full medical insurance has been established.

Wi-Fi coverage:
In our opinion, the only way to truly unwind, unplug and escape from the pressures of the outside world as we know it, is to enjoy the serenity and tranquillity of nature with no Wi-Fi access!  Sadly, due to pressure to compete with other safari lodges, some of our camps have relented and now have access to Wi-Fi.  When booking, we can confirm which camps have Wi-Fi.  Depending on your location and camp, Wi-Fi may be very limited or not available at all!  Please be aware that use of devices should be limited to your chalet/tent and if used in public areas, to be considerate of others enjoying a technology-free safari.

Walking, day game drives, canoeing, fishing and other bush activities.

Tipping:
Is not expected but always enthusiastically received if you are happy with the service. Please always give tips for the camp/lodge staff to the management to be shared out and tip your guide individually. Envelopes are provided.

Photography:
Please be sensitive when photographing local people and their villages. Ask the guide or the villagers first. Be careful when photographing public buildings and persons in uniform – again, ask first. No drones are allowed to be flown in the park.

Travelling alone – A safari holiday with us is a perfect way to travel alone.  Why?
You will constantly feel supported and taken care of!  From being met at the airport to being hosted at one of our bush camps, our hosts and hostesses and small groups of guests contribute in making you feel, relaxed welcome and at home!
Our safari lodges and bush camps are exclusive and only host a small group of guests at any time.

All meals unless requested otherwise are enjoyed together and interaction with each other is a wonderful part of the experience.  You will make life-long connections with other people from all over the globe!
