How
does CCAfrica promote ecotourism?
The CCAfrica Foundation is a non-profit organisation. It acts as a
catalyst for the development of neighbouring rural communities.
Projects include building classrooms, libraries and clinics and
sponsoring bursaries. The Foundation empowers small business through
providing capital and training. We offer employment opportunities and
the local people are often our landlords, who benefit from our rent.
CCAfrica guests are welcome to visit current projects in neighbouring
communities.
What kind of medical precautions do I need to take?
As vaccination requirements change from time to time, we suggest you
consult your local doctor or health department for the latest health
precautions. Some countries require advance inoculations (and
certificates thereof) – we will advise you of these.
Anti-malarial
precautions are essential at all CCAfrica lodges and camps except for
Tau Game Lodge in South Africa. As there are various types of
medication to help prevent malaria, we would advise that you contact
your local doctor or general practitioner before departing on your
trip. He or she can give you advice on the appropriate medication.
How
is emergency medical cover and travel insurance arranged?
Afro Ventures (the Tours & Safaris arm of CCAfrica) includes
emergency medical evacuation insurance in all itineraries (except
South Africa). This guarantees all reasonable, practical assistance in
obtaining primary or emergency medical services for an insured person
who suffers illness or injury.
Please
note that this is an evacuation insurance only and does not replace
the normal travel insurance which you must purchase.
Can a two to three week circuit with different lodges/camps and
activities (including transfers) be arranged?
Yes.
What are the best times to travel?
All year round. Game viewing is often at its best from the end of
March to the end of August because of sparser vegetation and greater
animal congregations around waterholes.
When
is the rainy season?
Rainfall is mostly in summer between October and March.
What are
the characteristic species of the area?
Leopard, lion, elephant, zebra, white rhino, hippo, buffalo, cheetah,
spotted hyena, giraffe, impala, wildebeest, impala, rock dassie,
civet, genet cats, kudu, greater bush baby, chacma baboon,
klipspringer and a high bird diversity.
