You will need a bit of spending money to cover drinks, lunch and souvenirs. This money also covers you if you wish to upgrade occasionally from camping as well. Tipping is customary in Africa, so budget for gratuities if you wish for guides or drivers who provide good service such as on game drives or guided tours. Again it is at your discretion, but your tour leader and driver will appreciate a tip to acknowledge their hard work during your tour. The recommended spending money for the Wild Wildebeest safari is: US$135 - US$220

Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 - 9 months after your trip finishes. Ensure as well you have adequate pages in your passport for each country you visit. Up to 2 consecutive blank pages can be required. If you have dual nationality you can only use one passport for the entire trip, whilst bringing both is wise as a back up. More information can be found in the different country listings on the FCO website under entry requirements.

For this tour, most passport holders will need to apply for an eTA to Kenya online prior to arrival.

For most passport holders the visa for Tanzania can be bought at the border en route. Visas on the ground can only be paid for in US Dollars cash.
