  • FAQ

    What airport do I fly into?

    Fly into Hoedspruit Airport and an airport transfer to Kelora will be waiting for you upon arrival. If you need help figuring out flights, please contact me directly!

    Do I need a Visa?

    If you are traveling from the USA or Europe, you WILL NOT need a visa. If you’re traveling with another nationality, please make sure to do the appropriate research.

    What time should my flight arrive at Hoedspruit Airport?

    While the airport transfer will be organized specific to your arrival time, I’d recommend your flight arrive and depart around midday. The airport is very small and there are very limited daily flights into Hoedspruit Airport.

    What is the refund policy?

    The deposit is non-refundable. Cancelation by June 5th will result in a full refund (not including the initial deposit). Cancelation thereafter will not be refunded. In the VERY UNLIKELY event that Chantal has to cancel, you will receive a FULL REFUND including the initial deposit.

    Cash + Credit Cards - What do I need?

    Please make sure to have enough cash on you to tip your tour guides and Kelora Bush Camp staff. Most stores accept VISA and MASTERCACARD. Please note that American Express is seldom accepted in South Africa. If you need an idea of an exact ZAR amount, please contact me directly for a recommendation.

    Is this a Malaria zone?

    This is a very low risk Malaria zone and it is unlikely that you will be infected. However, please consult your doctor before traveling.

    Do I need any vaccines before traveling to South Africa?

    It is highly unlikely that you will need any vaccines to enter South Africa, but I recommend consulting your doctor or another health care professional so you can make an educated decision.

    What should I pack?

    ga Mat Headlamp Clothes: Wear clothes that blend with nature. Light cotton clothing in light tones. Choose easy wearing and light clothes as it suits the hot climate. Try to avoid red as this attracts animals. White is highly visible to animals so best to avoid white shirts on bush walks and game drives. A good pair of trainers or hiking shoes. Pack some long sleeve shirt and trousers as it can get chilly in the evenings. A lightweight rain jacket is advisable as it can be cold in the early mornings and early evenings. Hat is very important for those hot days. Toiletries and Medication: Sunscreen is very important. Choose an SPF between 30 and 50.Pack a small bag or medical kit with some pain killers, any chronic medications (enough for the trip), some insect repellent, any vitamins etc. We have a basic medical kit but please bring your personal necessities. Other accessories sunglasses, a book, light weight flash light
