Missing a vacation is bad enough. Losing the money you paid for your vacation is even worse. Trip insurance is therefore highly recommended. Your premium is related to your trip cost, so you don’t have to worry about being over-insured. We recommend the following Travel Insurance Providers:
NOTES:
Traveling abroad requires a passport valid for six months beyond your travel dates.
South Africa – Upon entry into South Africa, passport holders are required to have at least one, entirely blank (unstamped) visa page (i.e. one side of such a page, not front and back thereof) in their passport, each time entry is sought into South Africa. These pages are in addition to the endorsement/ amendment pages at the back of the passport. South African government regulations prohibit airlines from boarding passengers without the required blank visa page.
VACCINES AND COVID
Travelers entering South Africa are no longer required to produce vaccination certificates or recent negative PCR tests.
Make sure you are up-to-date on routine vaccines before every trip. These vaccines include the COVID-19 Vaccine, measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine, varicella (chickenpox) vaccine, polio vaccine, and your yearly flu shot.
The CDC recommends you visit your doctor (ideally, 4-6 weeks) before your trip to get vaccines or medicines you may need.
MONEY/CURRENCY
The South African currency unit is the Rand (ZAR or R). Notes come in R10, R20, R50, R100, and R200. Travel debit cards are a good alternative to carrying cash whenever you go on a trip to South Africa. It may be a cheaper and safer alternative. However, many smaller vendors will only accept Rands, so we recommend keeping some cash handy
