Safari Planning
South Africa is one of the most stable countries in Africa and its first world infrastructure of roads and scheduled flights make getting around a pleasure. Your main entry into South Africa will be at our international airports in Johannesburg or Cape Town. From either airport, you can catch numerous daily connecting flights to your final destination where our team will collect you at the start of your hunt and drop you again at the end of your safari.
When booking your safari, it is essential that you arrive one day prior to your first hunting day and leave the day after your last hunting day. Please check that your travel schedule indicates this.
Passports are required for travel to South Africa. Please note that for the most part no Visas are required. American and European Union passports are sufficient for entries into South Africa.
Please Note - If you are going on safari into any of our neighbouring countries with John X Safaris, then Visas may be required for those countries. Please double check with your local Embassy about Visas well before your safari. Always keep in mind most Visa payments if any will always be charges in USD$ cash.
Children on a US or other visa-exempt passport need only a valid passport to enter South Africa.
Immigration officers may still ask for proof of the relationship, so we strongly recommend bringing a copy of each child's birth certificate showing the parents' details. If a parent isn't traveling, also bring a signed letter of consent from that parent, with a copy of their passport and their contact details.
Copies are fine; they do not need to be certified or notarized.
A child traveling without a parent must carry these documents.
