At AFRICAN CLASSIC ENCOUNTERS, we believe that being prepared •for your adventure makes a world of difference in your enjoyment of it. Information you'll find most valuable will be included in your final preparations for the exciting adventure ahead. We'll include much of this with your itinerary after your first deposit has been paid.  Here is a sample of what you can expect to learn about before you go:

A Typical Day on Safari and Detailed Itinerary • We'll include your confirmed and detailed itinerary with a detailed map so you can get a good idea of where you will be visiting.  You'll also learn what a "typical day" might look like even though each day holds a different adventure. We'll help set your expectations for weather, people you will meet, animals you might see, additional activities you may chose to explore, and a host of other pertinent information.

A Word about Etiquette and Customs • As a visitor in any foreign country you should be aware of local customs and expected behavior. Most of this is common sense, but such things as modest clothes, respect, and a friendly attitude are all important factors. We'll discuss appropriate dress when entering churches and mosques, when it's not O.K. to take photographs, and other important information. The concept of time in other cultures is often different than ours so patience and politeness are the best ways to deal with the inevitable delays that will come your way.

Documents You Will Need • Passport requirements and necessary visa kits, with full instructions, will be sent.
