Extensive research has been conducted on many African countries and the intricacies that go hand-in-hand with travel to these destinations. Our detailed Country Studies involve intensive research in a broad range of areas, including but not limited to: health, political, security and travel risk; medical facilities; various modes of travel; accommodation; vehicle leasing or rental; communication infrastructure; monetary restrictions and acceptance of various methods of payment and foreign currencies; business hours; business customs; economy and business profile; climate; commercial country guides; maps and geographical information. Our Daily Alerts on Africa also provide updated information that is extremely useful to regular travellers.

HRG has access to comprehensive flight route data for the whole of Africa, showing detailed information about the flight connections to, from and within the continent.  This is particularly useful, since it provides a consolidated, all inclusive spreadsheet of all the African flight data that goes into all the various GDS’s, providing both an overall picture with pivot table functionality, as well as the ability to drill down to specifics. Some of the fields available include Origin/Destination Airport, City & Country, Carriers, Arrival & Departure times, Flight times, Flight distances, Frequencies, Days of Operation, Stopovers, Aircraft types, Number of seats available, Classes available.

Traveller Manuals provide information on climate, official languages, foreign exchange requirements and cultural expectations per destination. These provide travellers with invaluable tips on ‘easy travelling’ – e.g. how to handle customs at a particular international airport.

Another offering of the African Solution is our Health Manual, which not only describes the symptoms of all diseases contracted in Africa, but also gives information pertinent to inoculations and the valid duration thereof.
