Prophylactics should be taken, targeted to the strains that occur in the areas you will be visiting. You are advised to consult with your physician before departure, and with a pharmacist in the country where you will be traveling. You must have sufficient hard currency to pay these fees. Please check State Department travel advisories for each country to understand these fees. They constantly change and we cannot keep up to date with all of them.
International travel carries substantial risks due to delay and disruption.
We and all of our subagents and tour operators require that you have your own insurance and will not bear responsibility for costs due to any medical or personal emergency, nor will they or we take responsibility for costs incurred by disruptions, delays or defaults of operators beyond their control. Neither we nor our subagents can bear responsibility for any defaults beyond our control. We work with tour operators and airlines that have proven records of reliability and are known to us personally. In our experience we have had no defaults by any land operators. The alternative to scheduled inter-African flights on smaller carriers is to arrange for private charters with reliable companies, but this is very expensive.
