THIS TRIP WILL DEPART FRIDAY JUNE 6, 2025 AND YOU WILL ARRIVE HOME SUNDAY JUNE 22, 2025. MEETUP DOES NOT ALLOW A POST OF MORE THAN 14 DAYS (for some strange reason) SO THE DATES DON'T MATCH.

AND ALL OF US HAVE DECIDED TO FLY A DAY EARLY. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD ALSO LIKE TO FLY WITH US A DAY EARLY AND HAVE SOME JETLAG RECOVERY TIME.

PASSPORT MUST BE GOOD UNTIL DECEMBER 22, 2025 OR LATER AT TIME OF TRAVEL. Minimum 4 completely blank pages needed for South Africa visa stamps.

CURRENTLY NO COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS OR REQUIREMENTS. IF THAT CHANGES, YOU MUST MEET UPDATED GUIDELINES. MASK WEARING WILL BE OPTIONAL

It will be winter in Africa so no worries about hot days. And the animals will be concentrated near fewer water sources. Since we will be covering up, and the nights are cold, the concerns with biting flies and mosquitos are diminished. But you are encouraged to do what is necessary to prevent bites and disease transmission. June is a great time to get out of town in North America where the temps may be a bit high...

We will be going on game drives in open safari vehicles and cruising rivers and an estuary to view more birds and wildlife. Plus, we will be seeing penguins outside of Cape Town:-).

The trip is active and will require up to 4 hours of walking during some of the tours. You will need to be able to enter and exit safari vehicles unassisted and the tour is not ADA friendly. Actual flight time is about 18.5 hours each way with a stop in Atlanta. We will go into the Delta lounge in Atlanta together to relax. Flight upgrades will be available. Exact pricing will be known in July 2024.
