South Africa: Nomad Tours December News & Updates | Номад Турс Южная Африка

Nomad Tours December News & Updates

The last month of 2021 has arrived and what the past 2 years have taught us is that we as a company and the agents & clients we work with are resilient and stronger than ever. With the recent news that broke, I am sure most of our first instincts are to panic, but history has taught us now to remain calm, assess & wait for clear guidelines.

The recent events has brought some hurdles for the industry, perhaps you have been directly impacted by the rulings and face your own set of challenges. As always Nomad would like to reassure you of our commitment to our agents & travellers.

We will not be indulging in the frenzy that has been created and will work with factual information that is current and accurate released by government. We encourage everyone not make pre mature decisions, to wait and see what unfolds in the coming days and avoid entertaining media opinions that cause panic & stress.

Nomad is open for business, borders are not closed where we travel and travellers are still arriving at our doorstep. The need for travel is more than ever and what a great destination this is to ride out whatever storms are around us.

Once again, we don’t have all the answers – what we do know is:

° South Africans have been banned from international travel to many territories and countries internationally

° South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia’s borders remain open (including other African countries)

° Some airlines continue to travel to Southern Africa, bringing EU citizens amongst others. South African nationals may not depart

° International travel can proceed (depending on nationality) quarantine rules may apply on return

° There is no restriction of movement between provinces and Southern African countries

Our stance on the current situation is that we are physically able to operate our tours, there is no justification for us to halt tour operations and to force mass cancellations.

Our tours will proceed as planned until such time that restrictions call for a) tour deviation or b) cancellation. We would like to remind you that any cancellations received will be subject to standard terms & conditions and cancellations fees may apply so we urge you to discuss all options with your guest prior to cancelling.

As new data emerges in the week coming, we will remain in contact with guests booked on tours set to depart in December and 2022, should any changes occur.

We anticipate in the coming weeks further changes in policies to occur with governments requiring clients to be vaccinated to cross borders. Yesterday Zambia announced they will require all persons to provide evidence of vaccination before entry into government buildings. [Immigration/border control are classified as government buildings]. Also High Risk countries will be required to quarantine. We have not been informed which countries are seen as High Risk. We will communicate to you as soon as we know more.

We are in the process of returning our trips to Victoria Falls due to the recent ruling from Zambia and will be informing our clients & agents once we know more.

The travel community is resilient, and we would like to extend our gratitude to clients and agents who have reached out to us in the past 48 hours voicing their intent to travel and not panicking and doing blanket cancellations. We appreciate your efforts.

December Specials

° Valid from 1 - 31 December 2021 on listed tours

° Can't be used in conjunction with another deal or special

° ​Only applicable to new bookings, not existing confirmed bookings

° Standard booking & cancellation terms apply.

° Discount is applicable on the advertised per person rate. Not on single supplements, gorilla permits or pre/post services

Mandatory Vaccine Requirement

The Government of Malawi has on 29th November 2021, introduced new entry requirements for all travellers of all nationalities who wish to gain entry into Malawi. Likewise Zambia has ruled the same as of 30 November 2021. Only fully vaccinated travellers may enter with immediate effect. Due to this change we will as operator be required to enforce this requirement for all passengers joining our tours travelling through this country.

Warm Regards

The Nomad Team.

South Africa: Drifters

Enjoy peace of mind when booking a Drifters tour.

At Drifters, we go to great lengths to ensure the safety and security of our passengers.
Southern African countries are typically portrayed to be volatile by nature; however Drifters still continues to run successful tours to these various parts of Africa with great success, ensuring our passengers the peace of mind that we will always have their best interest and safety at heart.
Added to this, in 2019, Drifters, embarked on a program of a Guides driver assessment and training in order to benchmark and enhance our in-house training.
The main aim of the program is to assist guides in Driver safety and awareness whilst on the road, in an effort to keep up to date with the latest safety techniques. This exercise has assisted the guides in enhancing their driving skills and building their confidence when behind the wheel and also played a major part in ensuring guest safety and overall experience.
Currently all of the guides permanently employed by Drifters have completed the driver assessment and training program as well as a Basic First Aid course. Drifters also have a 24 hour emergency crisis call line that is displayed in each truck, highlighting the protocol for an emergency, whatever the nature.
Drifters boast an impeccable track record since its inception, making Drifters your number 1 choice when choosing your overland travel partner in Africa.
