                          When contacting a foreign consular representative, make sure to describe your itinerary clearly.

                          DESTINATION INFORMATION
                          Arrive On Time.  
                          You should plan to check in at least three hours before the scheduled departure time for international flights and two hours prior to the scheduled departure time for domestic flights due to additional security checks.
                          Connecting Passengers. 
                          Connecting passengers from other US locations should check their bags all the way to their final destination. Some airlines do not permit the "interlining" of checked bags; each destination flight's luggage is checked separately.
                          Destination Landing and Eventual Departure.
                          Please finish all immigration procedures upon arrival and retrieve your bags. Check your voucher for detailed instructions if your program involves airport arrival shuttles, as they differ depending on the destination.
                          Transfer.
                          We kindly suggest that you give our representative 30 minutes extra time from the time of your booked transfer due to local traffic and other unavoidable situations.
                          Transfers to and from the airport are included. You shouldn't worry about being late for your tour because such potential delays are considered when booking transfers.
                          During Game Safaris.
                          Ensure to pack your items in a soft-sided duffel bag and pack lightly due to the constrained space in safari vehicles. Using conventional luggage with rigid frames or hard plastic panels is not recommended.
                          Please be aware that there is an environmental prohibition on single-use plastic bags.
                          YOUR TOUR INFORMATION.
                          Tour Vehicles.
                          Expect to spend most of the time driving over roads that are often rough and bumpy in safari vehicles that are not air-conditioned.
                          Safari vehicles have high ground clearance and require agility to embark and disembark.
                          Tour journey in the Destination Country.
                          The number of participants on your trip may change as we accommodate visitors at various points along the schedule.
                          There are many early mornings. Only "bush toilets" are available during game drives.
                          Overland Sightseeing.
                          There is a required seat rotation policy on our Customized Tour Vehicles, which your Tour Manager will coordinate to ensure that travelers on tour-guided safaris have a positive and equitable experience.
                          Independent Activities.
                          The schedule might suggest things to do in your free time, but this is not a recommendation or an endorsement of any particular vendor. 
                          Participation in such activities should only be decided upon voluntarily and carefully.
                          Souvenir Shopping.
                          Most tourists like to bring back at least one memento from their travels.  Our Escorted itinerary has included a few shopping pit stops at suggested locations. These stops are intended to improve your experience by allowing you to inspect high-quality, locally-made goods that you might not be able to locate on your own.
                          Gratuities.
                          Tipping is always an individual decision. 
                          Suggested Tipping: Kenya
                          Safari Driver/Guide: US $10 per person per day

                          ABOUT ACCOMMODATION & MONEY
                          About Your Accommodations.
                          Each hotel is chosen carefully, considering its overall quality, location, cost, food, service, and cleanliness. Standard twin-bedded (two single beds) rooms with private bathrooms are available in every room. Many accommodations are built in the traditional local style and have no air-conditioning. Some of our tours require walking or stairs between tents. During this tour, you may come close to wild animals whose actions can be unpredictable.
                           
                          Unless otherwise specified, choosing a room is always completely up to the hotel's management on a run-of-house basis. 
                          Electricity in Safari Camps.
                          Some camps and lodges rely on generators to supply electricity, which may not always be available. Travelers using power-dependent devices must inform the travel manager in advance so that arrangements can be made to keep them plugged in through the night.
                          Electricity Specification
                          Please note: The U.S. uses 120 volts, and you can purchase a converter and transformer at most hardware stores for your 120V appliances.
                          Kenya - The voltage used is 220/240 volts, 3-pin square (UK standard)
                          Tanzania - The voltage used is 230 volts, 3-pin square (UK standard).
                          Hotel Check-in/ Check-out.
                          Hotel check-in times are typically after 4:00 p.m., and check-out times are before midday. Hotels will typically let you store your stuff in their luggage room if you plan on arriving early or leaving late. If the hotel can check you in earlier or let you stay later, inquire at the front desk. 
                          Currency.
                          Before you leave your country, we advise that you get a small quantity of currency for the first country you'll be visiting. A smart strategy is to avoid carrying too much cash.
                          ATMs accept most ATM cards in many countries, but only dispense in the local currency.
                          Credit Cards
                          Even while credit cards are generally accepted, having local cash on hand is still a good idea. Let your credit card issuer know you will be traveling to prevent your card from being stopped for security concerns.  
                          ABOUT YOUR HEALTH
                          Staying Healthy While Traveling
                          All travelers should familiarize themselves with local conditions, such as high altitude or required immunizations, which could affect their health. We recommend you consult with your personal healthcare provider, the Centers for Disease Control (www.cdc.gov), and/or the World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/en/) for their recommendations.
                          Health Checks.

                          Before signing up for this tour, we suggest you check with your healthcare provider.
                          COMMUNICATION
                          Mobile Phones
