WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO.
Heading on your first safari often brings up many questions. Below find a list of those frequently asked by our guests. If it still leaves you wondering, please talk to us.
We are here to ensure you are 100% prepared for your incredible adventure!
Many people wonder about the possibility of medical attention while on safari. Many camps and most countries in Africa with a safari industry operate a flying doctor service. Should something happen, camps will have coverage for guests including flying ambulance, paramedics and a doctor. Some camps even have a paramedic on site. Our guides carry first aid kits with them at all times.
Additional medical evacuation insurance can be purchased before your trip to cover the cost of flying you from Africa to the USA should you need to move from your host country’s hospital to one in the US. You must let us know of any medical issues and allergies that the lodges and camps might need to know about before your trip.
It is very important to adhere to the rules of the camp and your guide. When you are passing through an urban area it is best to stay in your hotel and do not go out without a driver or guide from the hotel.
The over all dress code when on safari is casual light clothing. With the exception of some animals, most mammals see in black and white and hence its better to dress in neutral colors so that you do not stand out. Military camouflage clothing is illegal in some countries, so is discouraged. Dinners in lodges and camps are generally casual and informal and best described as smart casual.
Each African country has their own rules for different passport holders’ entry requirements. Tanzania provides a three month tourist visa on entry. Please research this with us before you travel. Please make sure that your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your last date of travel and that you have enough blank visa pages in it.
Flights on safari are operated by light aircraft. Most scheduled flights between camps and airports will be operated in a single engine aircraft and they often stop at other camps along the way. Private charters can be arranged both in single engine and twin-engine aircraft.
This allows more flexibiliy in time and flying direct, saving time. Jet aircraft can be arranged for flights that cover long distance between airports that can accommodate them.
Please stick to the luggage guidelines that you are given before your safari for your own safety and comfort. Light aircraft do not have large holds and pilots will not load your luggage if they cannot get it in the plane or if it is too heavy.
Road transfers are operated in closed air-conditioned vehicles in urban areas and in open gamedrive vehicles in the bush. Gamedrive vehicles are mostly open with either 2 or 3 rows of seats. On certain safaris you may use a vehicle that has enclosed sides with an open top. These are used in areas that require you to travel longer distances.
There are many different ways to experience an African Safari, whether that be to see wildlife or experience cultural activities. Gamedrives are the stable way of viewing animals. Walking safaris allow you to see and learn about the ecosystems in smaller detail, as well as a chance to get out of the car and be completely engrossed in nature. Make sure that you walk with an experienced guide.
Consult with your healthcare provider for up-to-date recommendations, as they can vary based on your itinerary and health history. Common vaccinations include yellow fever, typhoid, hepatitis A and B, and rabies.
Familiarize yourself with emergency contact numbers and procedures before your trip. Carry a copy of your passport and essential documents.
Pack lightweight, breathable clothing suitable for the climate. Don’t forget essentials like a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, and comfortable walking shoes.
Keep valuables secure in a money belt or travel wallet. Avoid carrying large sums of cash.
Bring necessary chargers and adapters. Be mindful of power outages in some areas.
The best time to visit depends on your preferred activities and destinations. Consider factors like weather, wildlife migration patterns, and peak tourist seasons.
If you’re traveling to high-altitude regions, ascend gradually to acclimatize. Stay hydrated and avoid strenuous activities initially.
The Legacy of Rains Downers’ carried with a Story of Family.
Beneath the towering presence of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru, a love for the wild took root in the hearts of our grandparents.
They were born amidst the flourishing wildlife and wildlands of what their connection to nature wasn’t a choice – it was destiny.
These delicate ecosystems became their playgrounds but they had to deeply respect it and became a cornerstone of their lives. Their passion, a fire passed down through generations ignited a spark in us, their grandchildren.
We grew up listening to their several tales around the fireplace, Their voices were filled with awe and a deep concern for the land and wildlife.
Game reserves and National parks, became our own havens, where childhood adventures were woven with the whispers of the wind and the calls of exotic birds.
Witnessing the changes in the ecosystem, the increasing threats to wildlife, fueled a burning desire to change the state. We knew we had to carry the torch our grandparents lit, to ensure these wonders survived for generations after us.
And with no option, knowledge became to power. We enrolled ourselves at the best College of African Wildlife Management, immersing ourselves in the science of conservation in African ecosystem.
Determined to make a difference, we later joined the Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI). Here, alongside dedicated researchers, we witnessed firsthand challenges and triumphs of protecting wildlife. This experience solidified our resolve, craved a way to share our passion with a wider audience.
So, we transitioned into the world of tourism, fortunate enough to gain experience with a very high-end travel companies in Africa. These years honed our skills in creating unforgettable Safari experiences, while also exposing us to the power of responsible tourism.
It was with love of Nature, Passion, Knowledge, Experience and a Burning desire to make a difference that Rains Down Africa Safari ( Rains Downers’ ) was born.
We believe that if tourism, done right, can be a powerful tool for conservation.
Joins us on safari and become part of the solution for our delicate ecosystem.
