YOUR SAFETY
Our number one priority is your safety and welfare.
Suriname
Paramaribo is a small friendly city. Normal travel precautions for any city are advised. The downtown area is very quiet at night and not worth visiting. Restaurants and bars tend to be out of the city centre, with many focused around the Uitgangs Centrum area near the hotels we use. Uitgangs Centrum is buzzy and quite safe in the evenings.
Once out of the city and into the rainforest it will be isolated with just small villages and you will be perfectly safe. Surinamese people are very friendly and enjoy meeting visitors.
French Guiana
French Guiana is actually a department of France and so in safety terms much the same as being in France. Expect to see gendarmes and even French military (guarding the spaceport and on manoeuvres) and European standard roads. Cayenne is a tiny, sleepy city and normal travel precautions for any city are advised.
Guyana
We always get the question is Guyana safe? Like any big city, Georgetown has areas that are to be avoided by visitors. But we only use hotels that have good standards and are safe. Most of the time in Georgetown you will be accompanied by our experienced guides and drivers who live in the city. During your free time if you want to visit a bar or restaurant in the evening we recommend a taxi, which is inexpensive. Your hotel will be happy to call one for you.
Once out of Georgetown and into what we call the interior, it is a different scenario. You will be in areas with small villages where everyone greets you with a smile and you will be perfectly safe. Some lodges don’t even have locks on the doors as there is no need. There will always be an experienced guide close by to accompany you on your excursions and bring the rainforest and savannah to life and share their knowledge and experience.
Generally, you will find the Guyanese people extremely friendly and only too willing to help you enjoy their country.
VACCINATIONS
Malaria – Many of the areas you visit in Guyana’s interior will have no malaria. However, it is recommended to take malaria Prophylactics as a precaution on some trips. Please consult your physician before your departure. All beds in the interior have mosquito nets, and on camping trips, hammocks with specially fitted mosquito nets are provided. It is advisable to use insect repellent and wear long sleeves and long trousers at night. The mosquitoes are often more prevalent at dusk and dawn.
Yellow Fever – A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is required for travellers coming from or transiting from a country with risk of Yellow Fever transmission. Vaccination must be undertaken at least 10 days before travel to, or through Suriname. Suriname recognizes the Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is valid for life starting 10 days after vaccination. Children over 1 year of age are required to have a vaccination certificate. Travellers should carry their vaccination card (Yellow Fever) with them at all times.
CLOTHING
In the interior wear casual, comfortable clothing. A shirt with a collar helps protect you from the sun, and a hat and sunglasses are vital. During the day shorts and shirt are fine. In the evening you would want long trousers and a shirt with long sleeves. There is no need to dress up in the interior. You can leave any travel or city clothes in your city hotel or with our office when you are travelling around the interior.
Footwear – Comfortable walking shoes or boots and sandals.

Seamless and Supportive Tour Experience with Helpful StaffBy Yvonne T. August 15, 2024No real low points for me, but would like to add a comment that if you have difficulty walking, it may not be feasible to do the tour through the park. An aerial view could be recommended. The tour was well organized with excellent coordination between transport from hotel to airport, airport staff, and tour guide staff. Everyone was friendly, polite and informative. I would recommend installing hand rails, or ropes for gripping to assist with climbing in the areas with incline. I would like to comment that Ms. Ross has been extremely helpful in assisting me with organizing this tour. She responded to my queries timely and communicated with me frequently with updates such as driver pick up details.Date of Experience: August 05, 2024

Spectacular Falls and Impeccable CoordinationBy Megan S. August 15, 2024The falls were spectacular, as expected. Our pilot was kind enough to do a flyby so that everyone on the plane could get a nice view from the air. Our tour guide at the falls was very knowledgeable and pointed out several carnivorous plants, a viper, and a rocket frog. He also shared information about the geology of the area. I was very pleased with the organization and coordination. Jessica went above and beyond to make sure we were able to see the falls during our brief time in Georgetown.Date of Experience: August 08, 2024
