Planning a Three- to Six-Month Stay in Africa

Extended visits require more than an attractive itinerary. Identify the purpose of the stay, preferred destination, budget, accommodation style and accessibility needs.

Check immigration rules

Tourist entry does not necessarily permit months of residence, employment or other activities. Verify visa, residence and permitted-activity conditions with the relevant government before paying nonrefundable costs.

Consider everyday living

Think about internet reliability, healthcare access, transport, banking, insurance and local support. Build a realistic monthly budget with contingency funds.

Stay flexible

A layered plan with a reliable base and optional regional excursions can make a longer visit more enjoyable and easier to adjust.
