Kenya Update

At present our Africa Safari trips are operating as usual for all departures out of Nairobi, as the situation has now returned to normal. All international passengers continue to transit normally through Nairobi International Airport and the British government has removed its advice against travelling through all the areas we visit.
Following the power sharing agreement made on 28 February 2008 it is anticipated there will be no more trouble in the country. OzBus is monitoring the political situation in Kenya and will make any necessary alternative arrangements for our groups should they be needed.

Currency Report

African Overland companies normally ask for you to bring Dollars with you on your trek. With the weakening US Dollar, African business and trade are increasingly looking to trade in Pounds or Euros, so it is now ok to bring these currencies with you. The border taxes and visas are all still in US Dollars for the moment though.

The Fifa and Local Organising Committee's latest stadium inspection tour came at an important time. It has helped to put South Africa's progress particularly with regards to the various stadium construction projects in perspective. The concensus is that most projects are on target, and members of the delegation noted how impressed they were with the effort that was being made, as well as by the level of detail.
