If you do not want to navigate the online process yourself, feel free to contact a specialist visa agency such as Visa HQ to assist you.

You will need to liaise with your primary care physician or travel clinic regarding the medication most suited to your needs. We're not able to recommend which one to take as it depends on other medication you're currently taking / any medical conditions etc.

Visa Note for Kenya
Kenya has implemented an eTA (electronic travel authorisation) system. This is a semi-automated system that determines the eligibility of visitors to travel to Kenya.

All visitors are required to apply for an eTA prior to arrival in Kenya by clicking here - https://www.etakenya.go.ke/en
The cost is currently US$32.50 per traveller, plus bank and processing fees.
For most travelers, a single entry eTA will be sufficient. If you are visiting neighbouring countries such as Tanzania, Rwanda or Uganda and then returning to Kenya afterwards, you will be able to use the same eTA for re-entry – provided you do not return to your country of residence between visits.
NOTE that the eTA is only valid for 90 days from the date of issue, so please don’t apply too early. If the eTA expires prior to your arrival in Kenya, you will need to start a new application.

Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months after your arrival date in Kenya, and you require at least two blank visa pages in your passport.

One of the most culturally and geographically diverse places on earth, South Africa, fondly known by locals as the 'Rainbow Nation', boasts 11 official languages, and its inhabitants are influenced by a fascinating mix of cultures.

Health and Medical Information
VACCINATIONS & GENERAL HEALTH INFORMATION
Malaria
Most of South Africa is malaria-free, but visitors travelling to the low-lying eastern parts of the country, are advised to take precautions, especially in summer between October and April. Malaria areas include Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga and northern KwaZulu-Natal. Malaria-free game areas/reserves include the Eastern Cape, Madikwe, Waterberg, Pilanesberg, Welgevonden and Tswalu. In the dry season from May to September, there is less mosquito activity. To obtain a prescription for anti-malaria medication, consult your medical doctor or health authority prior to departure. Currently, the most commonly prescribed anti-malarial tablet is Malarone.
Vaccinations
Good medical services are readily available in urban areas of South Africa, but less so in wilderness regions; as a precautionary measure, vaccinations against diphtheria, rabies, meningococcal meningitis, tuberculosis, tetanus, typhoid, and hepatitis are sometimes recommended.
If you are travelling from a country with a risk of yellow fever, upon your arrival the government of South Africa requires proof of a yellow fever inoculation. Australia, Canada, USA, United Kingdom, and the EU, do NOT fall into this category, BUT, if you have travelled or transited through countries where yellow fever is apparent, you will be required to provide a Yellow Fever certificate. Endemic countries include Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda. A full list of yellow fever risk countries may be viewed HERE. The yellow fever inoculation is valid for ten years, and must be administered no later than ten days prior to departure.
NOTE: should you fall into the yellow fever risk category, you are required to travel with your Yellow Fever certificate/card.
Bilharzia
Bilharzia is present in some of the stagnant/slow-moving water tracts in remote areas of the country; as a precautionary measure, check with resident locals before swimming.
Water
Tap water can be drunk in South Africa’s cities and major towns, however drinking tap water in rural areas isn't recommended. All hotels, safari camps and lodges supply fresh, clean (bottled or filtered) water. Do however always check with the camp/lodge staff if it is safe to brush your teeth with the tap water.
Medication
Pack your own basic medications for headaches, hay fever and dry skin as well as for any other minor afflictions, and/or travel-related maladies. Remember to pack sufficient supplies of chronic/prescription medication for the entire duration of your trip.

Climate and Weather
THE WEATHER in SOUTH AFRICA
South Africa’s climate is typical for the Southern Hemisphere, with the middle of winter being in June, July and August, and December, January and February being mid-summer
Winter in the Cape Town area (including Hermanus, the Winelands, and along the Garden Route), can be rainy, with intermittent stormy weather on the coast of the Western Cape. Snowfalls on the high-lying peaks of the province are not uncommon mid-winter, with the average midday temperature being around 18°C/64°F, but a colder average of 7°C/45°F in the mornings and evenings.
The Eastern Cape gets very cold, also with the possibility of light snow on the higher mountains.
Winter in the northerly areas of the country (around Johannesburg, the Kruger and Madikwe regions), is cool but dry. Early morning and night-time temperatures are cold and plummet to between 4°C/39°F and 7°C/45°F, but it is often sunny and clear during the day with temperatures reaching 16°C/61°F to 20°C/68°F.
In winter, it is warmest on the eastern coastline of the country abutting the Indian Ocean (Durban, and the KwaZulu Natal North coast), all the way up to the border with Mozambique. The lowest temperatures experienced here are around 18°C/64°F, although this does drop considerably as you move inland towards the Drakensberg Mountains.
In summer it is hot and often windy in Cape Town and surrounds, as well as along the Garden Route. Temperatures in summer reach 28°C/82°F to 29°C/84°F. As one travels inland to the Winelands and Karoo areas, away from the influence of the cool Atlantic Ocean breezes, it gets even hotter.
Summer in the north around Johannesburg, the Kruger National Park and Madikwe, is hot and humid with regular thundershowers; this is the rainy ‘green season’, with temperatures easily reaching 25°C/77°F or 26°C/79°F.
KwaZulu Natal is very hot with high humidity in the summer months, and occasional rain. Temperatures of 25°C/77°F and 26°C/79°F do seem higher because of the high moisture content in the air.
Clothing and Dress Recommendations
WHAT to PACK

Electricity and Plug Standards
POWER in SOUTH AFRICA
A large number of the safari camps and lodges in South Africa are situated in remote areas and generate their own electricity - either by solar power or by diesel generator. These power sources in turn charge banks of batteries known as an inverter system, which then provides 220Volt power in each tented room for lighting and ceiling fans.
Hairdryers & Electric Shavers
It is often not possible to use appliances such as hairdryers or electric shavers in tented rooms at the camps/lodges, as they have low-wattage fuses. You will however be able to charge your equipment in a designated area in the camp - either in your room, or in a central charging station in the common areas.
Most camps and lodges have adapters, but if you would like to purchase one prior to departure, the most commonly found plug/socket type in South Africa is the ‘M’
