Local insider tips
• Visas on arrival are available for most nationalities. Carry USD in bills dated 2009 or newer. Pack layers for safari mornings and a yellow-fever certificate if arriving from an at-risk country. • Ask your guide about local etiquette and lesser-known spots — a respectful curiosity often opens doors most travellers miss.
