Our Drivers/Guides
Our most important link between us and our clients are our drivers/ guides. Our guides are all from Africa and are friendly, knowledgeable and they have a passion for Africa travel and its people. All our guides undergo comprehensive training courses that include all aspects of wildlife and nature guiding as well as the finer details like preparing campfire meals and general safari etiquette. Our guides are chosen for their leadership skills and are wonderful ambassadors for the company and our beautiful continent, Africa.

Quality Standards
Every effort is made to ensure each and every overland and safari tour we operate in all the destinations we have specified above are carried out to the outmost high standards of tourism. We pride ourselves with giving you the best value for money and rely on your input to maintain levels of quality.

Payments
The local payment is in US Dollars. Due to fluctuating exchange rates in many African countries, local suppliers fix their rates in US Dollars. The local payment goes directly to the local companies who organise excursions, entrance fees and food.

Your visas
As visa requirements can change, please contact the appropriate embassies or a visa agent for up-to-date visa information and requirements one month prior to departure. Please note that visas are the responsibility of the traveller and that Skyview of Africa Tours & Safaris Ltd will not be held responsible for clients being denied entry. Clients must keep valid onward/return tickets as proof, enabling the traveller to leave the country in which your tour concludes or proof of sufficient funds enabling you, the client, to purchase an onward ticket to leave the country. Be sure to have a multiple entry visa, for the relevant tours, to facilitate your re-entry into the country.

Your passport
Your passport must have sufficient pages for all visas required en route. Your passport should have one page free for every country you will be visiting. Your passport also needs to be valid for at least six months after your departure from Africa. It is also advisable to have a copy of your passport – remember to keep it separate from your passport. You are responsible for ensuring your passports, visas and/or other travel documents are in order.

Pre-departure information
Once you have chosen our tour packages and confirmed booking, we will send you comprehensive pre-departure information, with a list of what to bring, what to expect, guideline to visa requirements and optional excursion costs. The accompanying confirmation slip will indicate the time of departure and collection point. Make sure you ask for these important documents to prepare you for your African safari. Our reservations team is also available via email, fixed telephone lines and mobile telephones to answer any questions you may have.
