1.      Can I charge my Cellphone, Camera batteries, Laptop etc while on safari ?

·       Definitely! Many safari lodges and camps provide charging facilities for your electronic device mainly in the communal areas, like the main lounge or dining area.

·       Some lodges even have charging stations within the guest rooms or tents.

·       In case of remote locations of some safari camps, charging facilities may be limited.

·       We recommend bringing extra fully charged batteries or portable power banks to ensure you have sufficient power for your devices.

2.      Can I use my cellphone while on safari ?

·       Many safari destinations in Africa have mobile network coverage, allowing you to make calls, send messages, and access the internet, depending on the strength of the signal. 

·       Better network coverage is usually near camps or in certain designated areas.

·       It is strongly advised not to make calls during game drives as this may disturb the wildlife and diminish your chances of better viewing, and also create disturbances to your fellow tourists. It is always essential to follow the rules of the jungle to have an extraordinary and safe wildlife viewing.

·       Using your cellphone for photography and capturing those incredible wildlife moments is also a good idea. Most of the wildlife in Africa are not bothered about the safari vehicles, thus you can get excellent close up views of the wildlife.

·       Cellphone photography  will be diificult if the wildlife is far away on a tree or hidden inside the grass.

·       Bring spare batteries or portable chargers to keep your device powered up, especially during longer game drives or when charging options are limited.

3.      What type of plug adapter is required in Africa ?

·       Different countries may have different plug configurations.

·       Most countries in Southern Africa, such as Botswana, Namibia, and Zimbabwe, use a three-pronged plug with round pins. This type of plug is known as the Type M plug. It’s important to note that these countries often have 220-240V electrical systems.

·       In East Africa, including Kenya and Tanzania, the common plug type is the three-pronged plug with rectangular pins. This plug type is known as the Type G plug, which is also used in the United Kingdom.

·       It is always a good idea to bring a universal travel adaptor, which can accommodate different plug types, ensuring you can charge your devices throughout your safari adventure.
