Essential Planning Guide

How to Structure a Secure African Itinerary

Rule of Thumb: Aim for 1 to 2 destinations per country to avoid scams and travel fatigue.

Core Guidelines

  • • Limit countries: Maximize 2 to 3 countries per trip.
  • • Scale risk: Excess destinations expose you to transit challenges.
  • • Pacing: Spend at least 7 days per region.
  • • Transport: Avoid unregulated transport and unlicensed guides.
  • • Vetting: Check operators with ATTA or SATSA.
  • • Transit: Book airport transfers directly through lodges.
  • • Airlines: Stick to trusted carriers e.g Airlink or Ethiopian.
  • • Classic Combinations: Focus on complementary pairings within the same region to minimize logistical stress.
