We are a responsible tourism business and only promote travel that encourages sustainable development and respects local communities. This is even more important when dealing with the nascent cannabis industry to ensure its long-term viability. South Africa is the only country in Africa to legalize cannabis consumption, so we are focused on there.
No, even though cannabis has been decriminalized for personal use in South Africa, you cannot bring any products, including CBD, into the country from abroad. This is considered importing of drugs and is still highly illegal.
Yes, it is legal to buy cannabis in South Africa under specific conditions. For a small fee, you can join a licensed local cannabis club to gain access to their products. These include a full spectrum offering, including bud, prerolls, vapes, and edibles. Purchasing cannabis from the street or an unlicensed establishment could result in an unlawful or even dangerous situation. We only include stops at licensed providers in our itineraries.
Yes, you can travel with cannabis around South Africa as long as you are not smoking it openly or leaving the country.
It is not legal to smoke cannabis in public places in South Africa. If you are a smoker, you are restricted to outdoor areas on private property. We can arrange for hotels with private smoking areas.
Yes, as long as you are respectful and aware of the rules. Like everywhere else, smoking is only allowed in designated outdoor areas. Be aware of where that area is at your camp because smoking will not be allowed in your room. Also, there is no smoking on game drives because it disturbs the animals and could start a fire. Edibles are more discreet and can be taken anywhere, but know your limits. There is a long history of drinking on safari, and being stoned dumb is just as bad as getting really drunk on a game drive. Also, do not get high if you are going on a walking safari. These are generally safe and hosted by expert guides, but you will need your wits about you in case of a dangerous encounter.
We believe travel can connect people with profound moments in nature that have the power to transform. We use only the top nature-oriented hotels and lodges, combined with a background in storytelling and sustainability to create trips that can change you and possibly the world.
