BEFORE YOU BOOK YOUR FLIGHT
All our volunteer projects commence on the first MONDAY
OF THE MONTH, as this is when All Out Africa staff can
personally collect you from the airport. If your project/
expedition begins in Swaziland and you are traveling from
abroad you will need to fly into Johannesburg.
Airport transfers on this day is what is included as a part of your project
fee. If you arrive on another day, additional charges may occur.
The bus leaves for Swaziland once all participants have
arrived or at 14:45 at the latest, so please ensure you book
a flight that arrives before the shuttle departure (allowing
time to collect bags and pass through immigration).
If you flight arrives at a later time you will need to arrive a
DAY EARLIER and stay overnight in Johannesburg. For these
instances, we recommend that you book with our trusted
backpackers in Johannesburg, Doves Nest Guest House.
Dove’s Nest will pick you up at the airport and transport
you to the guest house, and return you to the airport to
meet our staff on the arrival day. If you need assistance
making your booking, please let us know.
When you are returning home, the transfers leave in the
morning, so please organise for your flight to depart OR
Tambo after 14:30, or alternatively you will have to travel
the day before and spend a night at Doves Nest Guest House.
*Overnight accommodation in Johannesburg is not included. Payments
will need to be made directly to the guest house.
VISA FOR SWAZILAND
It is your responsibility to check if you need a per-
arranged visa. Should you need a letter to assist with a
visa, please let us know and we will happily assist. Most
nationalities can obtain a 30 day tourist visa on entry – with
two 30 day extensions possible in-country
ARRIVALS
You will be given an ‘International Arrival/Departure form’
on your flight – please fill this in on the plane before landing
(it is sensible to make sure you have a pen on the flight with
you). When you are filling in the Arrival/Departure form
please remember that participating with All Out Africa
counts as ‘tourism’ for immigration purposes.
When you arrive at O.R Tambo International Airport, your first
stop will be at the Immigrations Desk where you will have to hand
them your passport and your Arrival/Departure form that you
would have filled out on your flight. Your passport is stamped/
endorsed by the Immigration Officer and he/she will issue you
with a visa. Please inform the Officer that you are traveling to
Swaziland and they will usually give you a transit visa.
You will then enter the baggage reclaim area to collect your
luggage. Once you have your luggage make your way to the
exit (signposted in English). There you will be met by one of our
staff (holding a sign and wearing a T-shirt with the All Out logo).
You will pass through immigration upon entering Swaziland
and the All Out Africa staff member will assist you in getting
the entry stamp and the visa you require.
DEPARTURES
When you arrive a member of All Out Africa staff will request
your flight departure time and will organise a transfer for
you from Swaziland to OR Tambo.
