Please note that there are specific restrictions applicable when travelling with services of air charters. Luggage including camera equipment and hand luggage is restricted to 20kg (44lbs) per person (not applicable to sole users)
Only soft bags will be accepted – no wheels, frames or rigid structures can be transported as they physically cannot fit into the aircraft. Please advise in advance if you will need extra space for excess luggage. An extra seat for the bags may be reserved for an additional charge. Please inform us in advance if you weigh more than 100kg (220lbs) as additional weight allowance on the aircraft must be purchased for safety and comfort.

Travel Documents
You must have a passport which is valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Botswana. When travelling to southern Africa you must ensure you have sufficient blank VISA pages (not endorsement pages) in your passports, with at least two consecutive/side by side blank pages. Our recommendation is 3 pages (or even 4 if you are travelling through more than one country on your journey).
If there is insufficient space in the passport then entry into a country could be denied. Any applicable visas and/or relevant documentation are the responsibility of the traveller.
Note: For countries with whom Botswana has no diplomatic representation, visa information and processing is available through British Embassies and High Commissions. Enjanga Tours & Safaris is not responsible for any travel interruption as a result of a failure to meet visa/passport requirements.

Avoid being bitten by using mosquito repellents liberally. If you become ill on your return, insure that your doctor knows that you were in a malaria area so that appropriate tests are done.

It is important that you drink a lot of water, especially during warmer months. It is normally recommended that guests drink atleast 2-3 litres of water per day to limit effects of dehydration. Bottled water is readily available to drink throughout your trip.
