Planning trips during the pandemic are hard, but safaris are designed to be socially distant. While on a safari, you’re outside exploring wildlife, staying in secluded tents, and gazing at stars—does it get more secluded than that? Here’s how to make safari trips even safer during COVID-19.
Hire a Travel Designer
Destination specialists can give you important information for planning your itinerary and pre-departure including COVID-19 testing protocols, country entrance requirements, and the required supportive documentation. While traveling, you’ll have someone to turn to if something changes.
Keep in Mind the Destination
Safari destinations are trying their best to keep travelers and their citizens safe like requiring negative COVID-10 tests within 48 to 120 hours of arrival. Some places are even offering tests upon arrival and limiting the time travelers need to spend in cities when additional testing is required.
Consider Timing
If possible, try and travel before the end of May 2021 because you’ll have much more space to yourself since the capacity is wide open.
Make it Simple
Decrease your interactions with others by staying in one country. This also makes it so there’s less of a chance for changes to happen with your plans.
Travel Smart
Flying is pretty safe now due to airlines requiring masks and air filtration systems. Aim for direct flights to countries that require negative tests for entry.
