Consultation FAQs
Is it really free?
Yes. Most consultations become trips because the advice is good — that's the entire model.
Who will I speak to?
A safari specialist who plans the region you ask about — not a call center.
What should I prepare?
Rough dates, traveler count and one wildlife priority. Everything else we figure out together.
What vaccinations and malaria prevention do we need?
Yellow fever certificates are required when arriving from endemic countries; malaria prophylaxis is recommended for most safari regions - discuss options with your doctor 6 to 8 weeks out. We brief every trip on water, sun and insect precautions.
CDC guidance for the region is precise. Yellow fever vaccination is recommended for all safari travelers and becomes a certificate requirement when you arrive via an endemic country such as Rwanda or Uganda. Routine boosters, hepatitis A, typhoid and hepatitis B round out the travel clinic list. Malaria transmission covers every game park below roughly 2,500 meters, the parasite is chloroquine resistant, and the preventatives that work are atovaquone-proguanil, doxycycline, mefloquine or tafenoquine, started before arrival and finished after. Book the clinic six to eight weeks out, and pack repellent with 20 percent DEET plus long sleeves for dusk.
What photography gear should we bring?
A 100 to 400mm zoom covers 90 percent of sightings; add a wide second body for landscapes. Beanbags beat tripods in vehicles. We provide charging setups and dust management briefings - tell us your kit and targets.
How do internal flights and luggage limits work?
Bush flights allow 15 to 20kg in soft duffels; lodges store hard cases free. We route connections with realistic margins and meet you at every airstrip - missed-connection cover is built into fly-in trips.
Is this trip private?
Yes - every itinerary here runs with your own vehicle and guide. No Mixed-group compromises unless you ask for a join-in price.
How fit do we need to be?
Game-drive safaris need no fitness. Trekking trips state their grade honestly - ask for the training notes.
What is NOT included that surprises first-timers?
International flights, visas, travel insurance (required), premium drinks, the balloon flight where offered, and tips. Our quotes line-item park fees and permits so the total you compare is the total you pay.
