Safari Planning
South Africa is one of the most stable countries in Africa and its first world infrastructure of roads and scheduled flights make getting around a pleasure. Your main entry into South Africa will be at our international airports in Johannesburg or Cape Town. From either airport, you can catch numerous daily connecting flights to your final destination where our team will collect you at the start of your hunt and drop you again at the end of your safari.
When booking your safari, it is essential that you arrive one day prior to your first hunting day and leave the day after your last hunting day. Please check that your travel schedule indicates this.
Passports are required for travel to South Africa. Please note that for the most part no Visas are required. American and European Union passports are sufficient for entries into South Africa.
Please Note - If you are going on safari into any of our neighbouring countries with John X Safaris, then Visas may be required for those countries. Please double check with your local Embassy about Visas well before your safari. Always keep in mind most Visa payments if any will always be charges in USD$ cash.
As of 2015 there were new requirements introduced by the South African Department of Home Affairs, for additional documentation required by persons under the age of 18 years for travel to and from South Africa.
All travellers under 18 must travel with a full birth certificate with the child's full name as printed on the passport and both parent’s details need to be displayed on the certificate, passports copies of both parents is also recommended. In the case of one parent travelling with a child, it is advised that he or she carry a letter of consent from the other parent permitting the travel.
Please be aware that all travellers under the age of 18 years and not in possession of the required documentation will not be allowed to travel to and from South Africa.
