TYPHOID AND YELLOW FEVER DIFFERENCES

For any trip to Zambia you will need a Yellow Fever inoculation.  Please be advised that you will have to go for your Yellow Fever inoculation for which you will receive a certificate from your Doctor BEFORE entering Zambia. They will not allow you to board the aeroplane without the certificate.

Please also note that Typhoid Fever and Yellow Fever are NOT the same and therefore please make 100% sure that your Doctor is giving you the correct shot. Typhoid fever is caused by Salmonella bacteria in contaminated food and water, whereas Yellow fever is a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes.  It is recommended that you have the required inoculations four to six weeks before you travel to Southern Africa (a yellow fever inoculation certificate only becomes valid 10 days after inoculation - after which it remains valid for 10 years).

VISAS AND AIRLINE TICKETS

Please be advised that WILDFRONTIER AFRICA TRAVEL does not arrange visas or airline tickets. The prices quoted include the tour and accommodation fees only.  Due to the volatility of flight pricing we have decided to quote all packages excluding flights. To get the best flight deal you can book directly with any airline to your destination. The advantages of using your own credit card directly with the airline include you can be sure of the best rate available at that time and your credit card company usually includes insurance on all travel arrangements made by credit card. When booking your own connecting flights please ensure you have a minimum of 2 ½ hours connecting time.

It is the client’s sole responsibility to ensure that his/her passport, necessary permits and travel documents are valid and that they have obtained all the necessary permits and/or visas required by the countries which they intend to enter, prior to their departure. Do not forget to arrange Travel Insurance.

The company cannot be held liable for any visa or travel documentation not held by the client, nor will they be held liable should a passenger be refused entry into any country for any reason.

All client passports must have sufficient blank visa pages (minimum 2 recommended) available in their passports in accordance with the regulations of various African countries.

All client passports must be valid for a minimum of 6 months after travel.
