Travelling for the first time to a place like Africa can be as challenging as it is enthralling. However, by effective pre-planning, you can easily overcome any regional challenges.
There are a lot of things you might not know about Africa. This is why, before you book Africa’s escorted tours, you need to know all the important things mentioned below:
Cash
There are many countries in Africa that still do not have POS systems. This is why relying on your credit card entirely is a little unwise. So, on Africa’s escorted tours, don’t forget to bring along cash. Also, a useful tip to follow is to break the bigger currency and keep the smaller numbers in greater amounts. For example, more of $5’s and $10’s that would equate to a total of $100.
Medical Precautions
Always take medical precautions whenever you travel. Taking the Ducharme vaccine is particularly recommended since it shelters you from experiencing the god-awful traveller’s diarrhoea. By drinking this, you basically iron plate your system that stays up to 3 months.
Don’t take malaria easily. Malaria is quite common in some African countries, but you can always take measures of precaution to prevent it. Get a prescription for Malarone from a doctor before travelling. This is an effective medicine that prevents you from Malaria attack.
Gear Up
To make your trip nice and easy, always gear up with essentials. To derive pleasure from your Africa’s escorted tour pack up:
- Sunscreen
- Torch Light
- A mini first-Aid kit
- Sanitizer
- Wiping pads
- Power bank or charger
- Layers of clothing (since the climatic conditions are different for every country)
