Visas, Vaccinations and Safety
Many African countries require visas in order to enter and this can take a few weeks to sort out. Vaccinations are also very important, and some of the vaccinations that are highly recommended need to be administered a few months in advance of your trip. While most of Africa is quite safe for travelers, situations do change and it’s important to keep up to date with travel warnings as they arise.
