Traveling
team members are responsible for all costs associated with travel, room, and
board at the project site. VISAs
are required for entry
into most African countries. Costs vary from $50 to $100, and may be obtained
prior to the trip or at the African city airport. As with all international
travel, an active passport is required. Airfare
fluctuates based on
time of year /peak tourist season. We are often able to obtain discounted fares
through our online vendor, and this is coordinated so that we fly together as a
team. Vaccinations
Some African
countries, including Uganda, require yellow fever vaccination. Hepatitis A and
B, are highly recommended. Malaria prophylaxis is also highly recommended, as
our project sites are known to be malarial infected regions. Further details can
be found at www.cdc.gov/travel. Travel
Insurance is
recommended to assure international medical / health coverage if out of country
coverage is an exclusion of your personal medical insurance. Team members can
recommend several vendors. |
