SAFETY TIPS

Below are some general safety tips:

• Buy good travel and health insurance
• Check the passport and visa requirements for your destination
• Get all the required vaccinations, antimalarial medication and insect repellent (those containing DEET are most effective)
• Lock all your travel bags and keep all valuables in your hand luggage
• Make duplicates of important travel documents or keep copies online
• Bring appropriate clothing to protect against the sun, mosquitoes and to stay warm on open vehicle game drives
• Check luggage restrictions on all your flights (including domestic flights)
• Don’t drive at night
• Put your valuables in the safety deposit box of the hotel
• Always be polite and respectful to police officers and military personnel. In the rare instance that you might get asked for a bribe (on a self-drive safari only), a light attitude and a joke might well get you off the hook.

For your safety, stay vigilant and reduce your trips outside the accommodation and conference venues.

It is advisable when going out, to take the usual precautions and to be well informed about the destination, the route and the means of transport.

In public places be careful with people offering services or goods.
