Early planning stage of future trip to Africa (2021 or 2022)

[sinkingfeeling]

6. I'm leaving for 5+ weeks in Africa at the end of the month.

I will be in 6 different countries, but not Rwanda. I am 71 years old and will be traveling with Vantage. I spent all of yesterday driving to Oklahoma City to get yellow fever vaccination. It is required to be admitted into certain areas of Africa. You should look at the CDC's website for other recommended vaccinations, like typhoid.

I will be in 7 different wildlife parks. We will have guides and guards and 'safe' water and meals. I think traveling on one's own in Africa would be unwise unless you have expert knowledge of the wildlife and how to deal with confrontations.

What worries me most are snakes. There are a ton of deadly ones in Africa out of, like, 72 varieties!

P.S. I have travelled with Vantage before since they are one of the few tour agents that waive single supplements. Meaning I pay the same rate as couples. If you decide to use them, let me know as I can earn a discount for recommending them!
