1. Please note that this trip is a combination of multiple G Adventures tours. As such, the staff and/or particular vehicles operating your tour may change between tour segments. You may also expect some group members to join or leave the tour, between tour segments. 2. This is not a physically demanding journey; however, travelling can be difficult, with long drives and poor road conditions at times. Despite this, most clients feel that the diversity of the African landscape, countries, culture and wildlife are all well worth the experience. We use a comfortable and safe customized safari truck for the long drives. 3. According to the WHO and CDC, there is no risk of yellow fever in Botswana. It is compulsory to show a valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificate if you are travelling to Botswana from a Yellow Fever endemic country, or have recently travelled to a Yellow Fever endemic country (with entry stamps in your passport), including the following countries (but not limited to): Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Cote dโ€™Ivoire (Ivory Coast) Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea Zambia, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sรฃo Tomรฉ and Prรญncipe, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela. **We advise all travelers to Botswana who are coming from one of the above countries, or who have visited them in the last 10 years, to be prepared with a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate or letter from your doctor with proof of vaccination. Yellow Fever inoculations need to be administered at least 10 days prior to your entry into the country. Border officials in Botswana have been strictly enforcing these requirements. Travelers without the correct documentation run the risk of being denied entry, and will not be able to continue with the tour. (Any additional travel expenses will be on your own account.) ** 4. An essential part of your safari is participation. The group is usually divided into small groups and given different tasks which change on a day to day basis, from kitchen duty group (helping in prepare meals and clean up afterwards), the packing group (sets up all tables and chairs outside) and the cleaning group (which cleans the truck by emptying the rubbish bin and brooming). it is all part of your adventure and when everyone puts in a little effort the trip will run smoothly. Your CEOs will do all the meal preparation, but we do ask the clients to help with the washing up. Team spirit is part of the fun! All camping equipment (with the exception of your sleeping bag and pillow) is supplied. We supply dome tents and assembly/disassembly takes only 5 minutes. All tents have built-in insect nets. Mattresses are also available, which are approximately 4cm thick, warm and comfortable. 5. Sleeping bags can not be rented on any of our Africa overland or safari tours. 6. MONEY EXCHANGE We strongly advise that you bring ZAR or USD from your home country or exchange money before the start of the tour, to avoid delays on tour. Please see the Money Exchange section for more details. 7. DRONES The use of drones in national parks in Southern Africa is prohibited.Victoria Falls - Victoria Falls Whitewater Rafting (120USD per person) - Victoria Falls Helicopter Ride - 15 Mins (150USD per person) - Victoria Falls Helicopter Ride - 25min (284USD per person) - Zambezi Bungee Jump (168USD per person) - Canoeing the Zambezi (160USD per person) - Full Day Excursion to Chobe National Park - Victoria Falls Visit (50USD per person) Livingstone - Livingstone Island (Devilโ€™s Pool) Swim (125USD per person) - Livingstone Island (Devilโ€™s Pool) Morning Breezer (125USD per person) - Microlight Flight over Victoria Falls (360USD per person) Victoria Falls - Bridge Swing over the Zambezi (168USD per person) - Zipline over the Zambezi (50USD per person) Tshipise - Hot Springs Soak Kruger National Park - Kruger National Park Open Vehicle Wildlife Safari Drive - Full day (860ZAR per person) Soweto - Soweto Bicycle Tour (1300-1950ZAR per person) Johannesburg - Apartheid Museum (180ZAR per person) Chobe National Park - Chobe River Sunset Cruise - Chobe National Park Safari Drive
