I arrived running on empty after years in corporate survival mode. Being held by the land and guided with such reverence gave me my real spirit back.

What travel documents are required?
Important: Ideally, you should have passports valid for at least six months beyond arrival dates, with sufficient blank pages for multiple border crossings. The host travel company will confirm the specific documentation needed for the route.
Travelers are responsible for securing travel insurance which is mandatory for the trip.
These rules apply to U.S. passport holders, not everyone departing from the United States.

Zimbabwe requires a tourist visa, which can be obtained on arrival, while Mozambique requires an electronic travel authorization for eligible hotel-based tourists.
