African Travel requires full vaccination for 2022 group safaris
Luxury safari specialist African Travel will require all travelers to be fully vaccinated on their small group safaris in 2022.
African Travel, Inc. is the first U.S. safari outfitter exclusively focused on Africa to require Covid vaccinations.
Starting January 1, 2022, guests traveling in non-family groups of 10+ and on African Travel’s set group departures will need to provide proof of an approved Covid-19 vaccination before joining their safari and upon arrival to their destination.
Guests will also need to comply with specific PCR testing requirements imposed by airlines and/or governments.
“This decision ensures our commitment to our guests that their well-being is our top priority,” said Sherwin Banda, president of African Travel, Inc.
“It is essential that we take personal responsibility to help protect each other, and the places we visit.”
African Travel’s safari vacation packages on set group departures to Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania and Southern Africa average no more than 12 guests.
Each of African Travel’s journeys are tailor-made and clients can add additional experiences based on interests.
“Guests can feel safe knowing that when they join a set departure or group hosted by their advisor, they are traveling with others who are vaccinated,” said Banda. “
