COVID-19

JD Van Zyl • 15 March 2020

There is no denying that we live in challenging times, as Coronavirus/Covid-19 continues to sweep through the world. This evening South Africa's president announced "drastic measures" to curb the spread of the disease during a national address.

This includes a travel ban on nationalities from "high-risk countries" including the UK ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง, Spain ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ and France ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท. Currently Namibia ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฆ, Botswana ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ผ, Zimbabwe ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ผ, Zambia ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฒ and Tanzania ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฟ have not announced any travel bans.

To our guests who were due to arrive in SA in the coming weeks, rest assured that we will work closely with you to find the best workable solution for you in these challenging times.

To guests for whom we have designed beautiful itineraries due to travel in 2+ months, we will continue to monitor the situation closely and keep you posted on any changes that might affect your travel plans โœˆ๐Ÿงณ.

Let's hope that strict measures like these - challenging though they may be - will help bring the spread of this virus to a swift halt.

In the meantime know that our spectacular natural scenery, beautiful wildlife and undiminishable African spirit will still be here, and waiting for you, as soon as the travel ban is lifted ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฆ’๐Ÿฆ“โค๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ.
