***South Africa & Namibia’s risk level downgraded by Germany***

✅In the latest ministerial vote of the Federal Republic of Germany, with effect from Sunday (August 1), South Africa and Namibia will be downgraded from being classified as “virus variant areas” by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) – the public health institute in Germany – to now being designated areas of “High Risk”.

✅“This means it is now easier to enter Germany from South Africa or Namibia, given that the quarantine period is only ten days instead of fourteen days and can be ended after just five days with a negative PCR test,” explains Lufthansa General Manager Southern Africa & East Africa, Dr André Schulz.

✅Passengers who have been fully vaccinated with approved vaccines and come from High Risk areas do not need to be quarantined at all. Additionally, unlike in virus variant areas, there is no transport ban for travellers without German or EU citizenship.

✅“It is without doubt that this news will have a significant impact on our day to day business, and is welcomed by us all with great excitement and elation.

***Based on these new regulations the airlines of the Lufthansa Group will continuously re-evaluate and adjust our capacity to meet the demand according to our customers’ needs,” said Schulz.***

***Delta is back on the SA track***

Delta Air Lines has resumed its Atlanta-Johannesburg service, with the arrival of the first inbound flight in the late afternoon of Monday, August 2.

The service, which was first launched by Delta in December 2006, will initially operate three times weekly.

Inbound flights will depart Atlanta on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 19h00 and arrive in Johannesburg at 16h30 the following day.

Outbound flights will depart from Johannesburg at 22h55 on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays, arriving in Atlanta at 09h15 the following day.

“We are proud of our airline’s 15-year history in South Africa and excited that Delta’s restart between Johannesburg and the US is with our flagship aircraft, offering customers an enhanced on-board experience wherever they sit,” said Amy Martin, Delta’s MD Network Planning.

The route will be operated by Delta’s A350-900neo, which, it says, is 25% more fuel efficient than the Boeing 777 it replaces, helping reduce carbon emissions on Delta’s longest route.

The aircraft is configured with four cabins.

Delta One Suites. Described by one passenger as a hybrid between first-class and business-class product, with complete privacy, personalised service and a fully flat-bed seat with direct aisle access.
Delta Premium Select. This is a separate cabin with more personal space, wider seats with more leg-room and recline, adjustable leg and head rests and an elevated on-board service, with specific meals served.
Delta Comfort+. Preferential seating at the front of the main cabin, with a little more leg-room and specific allocated overhead storage for carry-on items.
Main Cabin. Economy class.
All seats have high-resolution in-seat entertainment screens and personal power ports for every customer, optional access to high-speed 2Ku Wi-Fi connectivity (paid), plus free mobile messaging – it is possible to send text messages (for example, over Watsapp or FB Messenger), but no pictures.

At meal service, all customers get a choice of entrée alongside an appetiser and dessert in addition to a full bar selection or soft drink. Delta One customers can pre-order their meal choice on flights between South Africa and the US (and can look forward to favourites such as Peri Peri chicken or grilled prawns with jasmine rice!)

Travellers on the flight from South Africa can connect to Los Angeles, Washington DC., Miami and New York-JFK, in time for lunch the next day.

Presently, there is no entry to the US, for South Africans for tourism purposes. Entry remains restricted to certain special visa categories and US citizens and permanent residents. Tourists from the US are welcome in South Africa.

Flat Dog On A Log ✔️

✅The Nile crocodile is a large crocodilian native to freshwater habitats in Africa and the proximity of much of its habitat to people means run-ins are frequent. And its virtually indiscriminate diet means a villager washing clothes by a riverbank might look just as tasty as a migrating wildebeest and so we keep our distance from the mighty Zambezi's edge capturing this prehistoric reptile.

✅Vaxxed Brits May Travel Isolation-Free

UK Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has announced that travellers returning to England from countries on England’s Amber List, and who have been fully vaccinated in the UK, will no longer need to self-isolate for 10 days on their return, from July 19.

But, according to British press reports, these travellers will still need to take a test three days prior to departure when returning from the Amber List country, to ensure they are negative before they travel. They will also have to take another PCR test by the end of day two after arriving back.

Travellers must show their vaccination status on their passenger locator forms and this will need to be checked by the transport operator before travel.

Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland usually follow England’s lead, so it is most likely these rules will apply across the UK.

Initially, said the Transport Secretary, the new rule would apply only to those who had been vaccinated in the UK. He had no timeline to indicate when travellers vaccinated in other countries might enter the UK from Amber List countries without the need to self-isolate. “We want to welcome international visitors back to the UK and are working to extend our approach to vaccinated passengers from important markets later this summer, such as the United States and the EU.” He promised to outline a plan on the opening up of the UK to vaccinated people from other countries in the future.

The Minister said the decision was not “just about holidays”, but was intended to help businesses trade and grow and was about supporting the aviation sector, which hundreds of thousands relied on, an industry that the government had backed with £7bn of support through the pandemic. “The only way to actually recover is to allow them to fly and for travel to resume again,” he said.

The UK Government will also, on July 19, remove its current discouragement for people travelling to Amber List countries.

The Minister concluded: “I want to be clear that, as we begin to ease restrictions, travel will not be the same as before. People should continue to check Foreign Office travel advice, travel where possible outside busy weekend times and, importantly, they should expect that their experience at the border will be different because longer waiting times will be necessitated.”

🐘🐘The Land Of The Giants!🐘🐘

✅Elephants are very dependant on water and tend to not venture far off from water if they can although research shows they can also go up to 4 days without water.

✅Water supply is critical for any breeding herd of elephants or bull elephants and it is known that they can also pic up the scent of water from +-5 kilometres away

✅In saying the above elephants create these amazing elephant highways that are used throughout there life's journey and as seen in this image taken on one of our Photo Safaris at some stage or another it leads them to a water source and best known where the fresher water is.

✅One can see this unfold before their eye on a daily occurrence at one of our preferred camps in the Hwange National Park which allows for incredible experiences as well as wildlife photography at its best.

✅With so many nice things to eat while on Photo Safari, why would The African Safari Guru Travel Company's
lead photographer and expedition tour leader bassani photoman look at the menu and order a elephants number two? 😂✅

Maybe he was thinking the below 🤔⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

🟩Interesting Fact:
✔️Animal research has shown that most animals snack on f***s because it contains some undigested food and thus vital nutrients that would otherwise go to waste.

✔️Coprophagia is the term for an animal eating excrement both their own and that of others.

🆗 INTERESTING FACT:

✅One of the greatestest things that comes from being a tour operator come guide, is that I have witnessed over the years and continue to witness lots of different wild animal behaviour.

✅I spend ample time watching wildlife, small or big as they go about their daily lives out in the wild and free.

✅And as seen in this image taken on one of our Photo Safari trips with clients is certainly one of the more intriguing behaviours that is carried out quite often by lions.

✅It is known by the term Flehmen, something seen in many mammal species, and just about all cats

✅The Flehmen response takes place when a lion, of either s*x, sniffs and smells the urine of another and chemicals and hormones contained in the urine elicit the Flehmen response.

✅Usually, after smelling the urine patch on the ground, in the air or on vegetation, the cat that is doing the smelling will lift his or her head, and hold their lips back in a strong grimace for a period of several seconds.

✅Each cat has a vomeronasal organ also sometimes called the organ of Jacobson, located above the palate and by sniffing deeply, and then pulling back their lips, they are in fact TESTING the chemical content of the urine left behind by another animal and in this case the lioness in this image is the subject.

✅Although Flehmen is observed amongst males and females, it appears to be most important to males and it plays a part in allowing them to determine whether a female may be entering an oestrous cycle.
