Better late than never, a few photos from our Argentina trip!
Our first few days were a bit chaotic, with flight cancellations, lost bags, and missing out on seeing Mendoza area... but the rest MORE than made up for it. A short stop in Buenos Aires, then to Frontera Wingshooting's Veracruz Lodge, where were enjoyed good food, good people, and of course the great outdoors!

What a great article our by friend and client, about the importance of proper safari planning and prep. Thank you for the mention, we appreciate you too!
And be sure to check out part 2.

Travel to Africa for a safari is the trip-of-a-lifetime. That expectation can bring incredible enjoyment in the planning and preparation, and at the same time some serious angst. However, with proper due diligence and planning, safaris promise to be incredibly enjoyable experiences.

Here is a great travel tip!
Mobile Passport Control (MPC) is a great way to speed up entry into the United States, for US and Canadian citizens. After downloading the free app, users can submit their details upon arrival, and bypass the regular line to enter. MPC is available at 46 sites currently. Check out the CBP website for full details! https://www.cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/mobile-passport-control

A curve ball from South Africa...
If you don't have a QR code on your COVID-19 vaccine card, and your vaccine provider doesn't offer a certificate with a QR code, you will once again have to test prior to travel.

My clients have had conflicting experiences with the QR code being required upon entry, but ALL travelers should comply with the new regulations.

What a shame... it sounds like South African Air won't accept fi****ms as checked baggage OR fly outside of Africa. Luckily we have several airlines within Africa that ARE gun friendly. Make sure you call us before you book!

The federal mask mandate has been overturned, BUT don't throw out your masks just yet! If you are traveling internationally your airline, transit country, or destination country may still require you to wear a one. Be a prepared traveler and pack that mask just in case.
