Yes. Travel insurance is mandatory for all Africa With Us travelers. It helps protect against trip cancellations, medical emergencies, delays, lost baggage, and other unforeseen events. Proof of coverage may be required before departure.

Yes, we will have local medical facilities and doctors available, if needed. However, you are responsible for protecting your own well-being and personal property before, during, and after the trip. This includes ensuring any and all vaccinations, inoculations, or prescribed medications are taken as directed by your local doctor and/or travel clinic for the areas visited.

Visa requirements vary by destination and nationality. Travelers are responsible for obtaining all required travel documents, including a valid passport, visas, and vaccination documentation where required.

Trips are double occupancy by default, with an option to upgrade to single occupancy. We will pair solo travelers with a same-gender roommate whenever possible.

If a roommate cannot be found 60 days before departure and you have not selected single occupancy, the single-room upgrade fee will apply.

Absolutely. Many of our travelers join solo and leave with lifelong friendships.

Requirements vary by destination. Yellow Fever vaccination is commonly required for many African countries. Consult your physician or travel clinic before departure.

Malaria is present in many countries we visit, but it is highly preventable. We recommend taking malaria pills starting 1 week before departure, throughout the trip, and for a few days upon return. The holistic option our team personally recommends with no side effects is Artemisinin. Always consult your doctor for the best option for you.
