The UK's Traffic Light System

With the world gradually re-opening, many of us are now looking forward to travelling overseas, but the testing requirements can seem a little daunting, so our experts have put together a brief guide that explains exactly what you need to do in order to re-join the Jet Set.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The UK categorises all countries as either Red or Green, based on a variety of Covid-19 & country-specific health metrics. These metrics include the percentage of people vaccinated, the rate of infection, the prevalence of variants of concern, and the country’s access to reliable scientific data and genomic sequencing. There are currently no countries on the Red List.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR RETURNING TO THE UK?

WHAT ARE THE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS FOR MY DESTINATION?

Each country has its own set of entry rules and regulations, so please contact our team and we can tell you exactly what you need to know for where you are going.

CAN THE RED LIST CHANGE?

Yes, and we will update this information accordingly.

ARE MY TRAVEL PLANS FLEXIBLE?

We know that things can change quickly in the world of international travel, so for your peace of mind we have our Book Africa With Confidence policy, which allows you to plan your trip in confidence knowing that we will be able to re-schedule your trip to a later date should circumstances suddenly change.

WHAT IF I'M NOT TRAVELLING FROM THE UK?

This information only applies to those who are departing from the UK, so if your journey begins elsewhere then please contact our team and we can advise you of the rules and regulations applicable to your trip.
