Country Resources

Traveling to international destinations is an unforgettable experience for you and your family: discovering new cultures, amazing wildlife experiences and taking in sights beyond imagination. The preparations for the journey, however, can sometimes be overwhelming. Whether anxious about cultural differences, the language barrier, currency conversion, tipping customs, or other concerns, it is the aim of the Ker & Downey team to help our clients avoid the stressful and confusing aspects of travel and blissfully enjoy their journey.

Below, you will find some helpful information packets for the various countries featured on our website as well as some general travel guidelines. Please keep in mind that although we try our best to keep the information as current as possible, information like recommendations, requirements, visa fees, etc., can change without notice. We strongly advise that you keep up to date with the regions that you plan on visiting by contacting your local embassy or consulate for visa and passport information and visiting the U.S. State Department's travel information website.

From Our Clients

"Well, I got a call from Botswana first of all to say that [my clients] were having the most fantastic time. I was thrilled. Then, yesterday, I received a call from my [client]'s wife…to say that they could not have had a more wonderful trip - they loved every bit of it. I was even more thrilled! So - I want to thank you both for making sure that all went well, that there was no hiccup along the way and, please, especially, thank all the staff in Botswana and Zambia for being outstanding hosts to these Americans. My [client]…said on the day he woke up back in his own bed: "I feel like Wendy, in Peter Pan, who has woken up from a fantastic dream!" Thank you once more. I have the greatest confidence in Ker and Downey, and I look forward to sending you plenty more business."
